Jussi

Jussi is a Finnish masculine given name functioning as the traditional Finnish form of Johannes, itself derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. It has been a common name in Finland for centuries and is closely associated with Finnish culture, perhaps most famously borne by the celebrated operatic tenor Jussi Björling. Related forms include Juhani, Juha, and Hannu in Finnish, as well as Johannes and its many European cognates.
