Juhani

Juhani is a Finnish form of Johannes, which derives from the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. It is one of the most popular masculine given names in Finnish history and remains closely associated with Finnish national identity, partly through the character Juhani in Aleksis Kivi's celebrated 1870 novel Seven Brothers. The name shares its ultimate Hebrew root with international equivalents such as John, Johann, Ivan, and Sean.
