JOHN


This comes from Rod Neep of GLOUCESTER-L@rootsweb.com

"I have been under the impression that Jno denoted Jonathon and Jn was short form for John. Am I wrong?" - Beth S.

This topic comes up relatively often, and each time it does, there is always a host of conflicting, and often incorrect answers. This perpetuates the problem.

The abbreviations are based on the Latin version of the name.

The definitive list of "J" names:

ABBREVIATIONS

Jon                 = Jonathan
Jon + superscript a = Jonathan
Jno                 = Johannes = John ** always **
Joh                 = John
Joh +superscript es = John
Jo                  = John
Ioh                 = John (I always = J in an abbreviation)
Jas                 = Jacobus = James
Ja + superscript s  = Jacobus = James (also Ja + superscript bus)
Jos                 = Joseph or rarely Josias
Josh                = Joshua
Jos + superscript h = Josiah

in other documents:
Joh  + superscript is = John's (belonging to)
Joan + superscript is = John's (not Joan's)

The Latin "J" Names
Jacobus    = Jacob
Jacoba     = James (in Scotland = female Jamesina, Jacobina)
Jana       = Jane, Joan, 
             (in Scotland = Jean)
             (in Wales = Sian)
             (in Ireland Sine - pronounced Sheena)
Janetta    = Janet (in Scotland Jennet)
Jeremia/s  = Jeremy, Jeremiah
Jerominus  = Jerome, Jeremy
Joanna     = Joan
Johanna    = Joan
Joannes    = John
Johannes   = John  
Johannis   = John
Ioannes    = John
Josca      = Joyce
Josephus   = Joseph
Josias     = Josiah
Josua      = Joshua
Judia      = Judy
Juditta    = Judith
Juliana    = Jill, Gillian
Julianus   = Julian (virtually always female)

Perhaps you would like to save and print this list, ready for the next time someone asks "What does Jno stand for".

Cheers
Rod
