Jovan

Jovan is a Serbian variant of the Hebrew name Yohanan, which is itself derived from the elements 'yo' meaning 'God' and 'hanan' meaning 'gracious.' It is the equivalent of the English name John.

The name has its origins in the biblical figure John the Baptist, who was an important prophet in Christianity and Islam.

In Serbian culture, Jovan has been a popular name for centuries, and it is often associated with strength, resilience, and a deep connection to one's cultural heritage.

While Jovan is primarily used as a male name in Serbian-speaking regions, it has also gained some popularity as a gender-neutral name in other parts of the world.
