Johannes is a Medieval Latin form of the personal name that usually appears as "John" in English language contexts. It is a variant of the Greek name (Ιωάννης) and Classical Latin (''Ioannes''), itself derived from the Hebrew name ''Yehochanan'' meaning "Yahweh is gracious". The name became popular in Northern Europe, especially in Germany. Common German variants for Johannes are ''Johann'', ''Hans'' (diminutized to ''Hänschen'' or ''Hänsel'', known from "''Hansel and Gretel''", a fairy tale by the Grimm brothers), ''Hannes'', ''Jens'' (from Danish) and ''Jan'' (from Dutch). Jan is a variant of John known in Catalan, Czech, Slovenian, Dutch, Scandinavian, Cornish, German, Afrikaans and Northern Germanic. Polish has its own variant Janusz as has Slovenian "Janez". Common English variants for Johannes are ''Johanan'', ''John'', ''Johnny''. In Galician is Xoán in French is Jean, in Spanish Juan, in Portuguese is João, in Catalan is Joan, in Russian – Иван (Ivan), in Lithuanian – Jonas, in Armenian is Hovhannes, in Romanian is Ioan and in Italian is Giovanni. In Indonesia, it is ''Yohanes''. Its variant in North Ethiopian Semetic languages is Yohannes. The Irish or Scottish Gaelic equivalent is ''Eoghan'' or ''Eóin'', and in Welsh it is ''Ieuan'' or ''Ifan'', anglicized as "Evan". In Estonian ''Juhan'', ''Jaan'', ''Jaanus'', ''Joonas'' and ''Hannes'' do come from the same root; ''Juss'' and ''Juku'' are the familiar names for Johannes. ==People named Johannes== *Johannes Aavik (1880–1973), Estonian philologist and Fennophile *Jóhannes Ásbjörnsson, Icelandic radio and TV show host *Johannes Brahms, German romantic composer *Johannes Bjelke-Petersen, former Premier of Queensland. *Joannes Corvus, Flemish painter *Johannes Edfelt, Swedish writer *Johannes Geis, German footballer *Johannes Gutenberg, German printer (1400–1468) *Johannes Heesters (1903–2011), Dutch actor, singer and entertainer *Johannes Helms, Danish writer and schoolmaster (1828–1895) *Johannes V.
