Yohaan-what's in a name? A lot I say!

This post is in response to a reader's question. She wanted to know the meaning/origins of Yohaan's name.

@Hirva: I am glad you liked my son's name. It is primarily a dutch name but has similarities in Arabic/urdu and Hindi pronounciations. It is a derivative of John and means "God has answered'' or "God has blessed'' or even "God has heard''. In Urdu and Hindi it is pronounced as ''Youhanna''. Some people spell it as Johaan with J silent.

We kept this name for him because I concieved him after much prayers and a longgg wait! He is our miracle baby!

Congratulations on becoming a mommy. Hope you are enjoying it!

Cheers,
harshika
Mommy to Yohaan.
