Newer form of the Old Church Slavic name Іѡаннъ (Ioannŭ), derived from Greek Ioannes (see John). Six Russian rulers bore this name, including the 15th-century Ivan III the Great and the 16th-century Ivan IV the Terrible, who became the first tsar of Russia. Nine emperors of Bulgaria also carried this name. Other notable bearers include the Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883), author of Fathers and Sons, and the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936), renowned for his discovery of the conditioned reflex.
