Yoann

Yoann is a French given name derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious, by way of Latin Iohannes and its subsequent development through Old French. It is a regional and stylistic variant of the standard French form Jean, preserving a closer phonetic resemblance to the medieval Latin and Occitan forms of the name. The name belongs to one of the most widespread naming traditions in the Christian world, sharing its roots with John, Johann, Giovanni, Ivan, and Ioan.
