Jouni

Jouni is a Finnish masculine given name, functioning as the Finnish vernacular form of Johannes, which itself descends from the Latin and Greek rendering of the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning Yahweh is gracious. It belongs to the same widespread family of John-derived names that spread across Europe following the influence of Christianity and the veneration of figures such as John the Baptist and John the Apostle. Related forms in other languages include Juhani and Juha in Finnish, as well as Hans, Ivan, and Sean in other European traditions.
