Joan (female name: /dʒoʊn/; male name: [(d)ʒuˈan]) is both a feminine form of the personal name John given to females in the Anglosphere; and the native masculine form of John (for males) in the Catalan-Valencian and Occitan languages. In both cases, the name is derived from the Greek via the Latin Ioannes and Ioanna (or Johannes and Johanna), and is thus cognate with John and related to its many forms, including its derived feminine forms.
The name was disseminated widely into many languages and cultures from the Greek name Ἰωάννης (romanised, Iōannēs), along with its feminine form [[[wikt:Ἰωάννα|Ἰωάννα]]] Error: {{Lang}}: invalid parameter: |translit= (help) (romanised, Iōanna).[1]: 144 [2] Its ultimate origin, as with John, is from the Hebrew Yohanan (יוֹחָנָן),[a] "Graced by Yah", or Yehohanan (יְהוֹחָנָן), "Yahweh is Gracious".[3]
