masculine · Welsh origin
Ieuan is the traditional Welsh form of John, itself derived through Latin Iohannes and Greek Ioannes from the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. It was widely used in medieval Wales and remains a distinctly Welsh cultural marker, borne by several notable Welsh poets and clerics throughout the centuries. The name exists alongside the later Welsh borrowing Ifan and the anglicized Evan, all of which trace back to the same Hebrew root.
