Jonathan, but you were close you probably were smart enough to try qouting it to see the URL.

Jon and John have completly different origins

JOHN
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: JAHN [key]
English form of Iohannes, which was the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its consistent popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered as saints. The first was John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ and a victim of beheading by Herod Antipas. The second was the apostle John, also supposedly the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation. The name has been borne by 23 popes and eight Byzantine emperors, as well as kings of England, France, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Portugal and Hungary. It was also borne by the poet John Milton and the philosopher John Locke.

JONATHAN
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, German, Scandinavian, Biblical
Pronounced: JAHN-a-than (English), YO-nah-tahn (German) [key]
From the Hebrew name יְהוֹנָתָן (Yehonatan) (contracted to יוֹנָתָן (Yonatan)) meaning "YAHWEH has given". In the Old Testament Jonathan was the eldest son of Saul and a friend of David. He was killed in battle with the Philistines. A famous bearer of this name was Jonathan Swift, the satirist who wrote 'Gulliver's Travels' and other works.

Akira asked what the "gi" stood for in my name. So I told him after a refresher course in my name. Then Fenix said "Yeah, because Japanese names are the only ones with meanings." Or something like that. And so people started looking up their names and such.

Who would ever do that?

JOHN and JON are the same name with different spellings. :meanface:

Yes but to know that you must be able to wield the english language properly.

Y'know, I originally quoted this because I thought you said 'english tongue' and was going to make some pun about a tongue lashing. But you said language.

So I'll make a pun about harsh language?



@ Chris: Drinking is not a competition sport... at least, not every day.

There is always a Johnathan.

Not everyone spells things the same way. I used to have a neighbor named Geoff (as opposed to... Jeff).
