Meaning & History

Modern French form of Jehan, the Old French form of Iohannes (see John). Since the 12th century it has consistently been the most common male name in France, finally dropping from the top rank in 1958, unseated by Philippe.

Well-known bearers include the French theologian Jean Calvin (1509-1564), the philosophers Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) and Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980), and the German-French Dadaist artist Jean Arp (1886-1966).
