Ifan

Ifan is a Welsh form of John, itself derived through Latin Iohannes and Greek Ioannes from the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning Yahweh is gracious. The name has been in continuous use in Wales and reflects the long-standing Welsh tradition of adapting biblical and Latin names into native phonological forms. It is closely related to the anglicized Evan, as well as the broader family of John-derived names including Ioan, Ian, and Iain found across the Celtic languages.
