Iban

Iban is a Basque masculine name functioning as the regional equivalent of John, ultimately derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. It represents the adaptation of the widespread biblical name into the Basque linguistic tradition, which historically preferred native or locally shaped forms. The accented Spanish variant Ibán carries the same origin and meaning, and the name belongs to the vast international family that includes Juan, Ivan, Giovanni, and Jean.
