Jannick

Jannick is a North Germanic and Low German diminutive form of Jan, itself the Dutch and Scandinavian contracted form of Johannes, which derives from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning God is gracious. The name became particularly common in Denmark and northern Germany, where diminutive forms ending in -ick or -ik were a popular means of forming familiar given names. It shares its ultimate root with John, Jean, Ivan, Giovanni, and Hans, all of which trace back to the same Hebrew origin.
