Is there a Hindu name for John?

There's no real Hindi or Hindu equivalent (unlike there is in the other European languages).





But Indians often say the word "John" as "Jaan" or, if they are addressing a visitor named John, they often say: "Jaan Sahib".





Here are the equivalent for "John" in some European languages:


-- "Jean" (French)


-- "Johann" (German)


-- "Jan" (Dutch)


-- "Giovanni (Italian)


-- "Juan" (Spanish) -- "Ivan" (Russian)


-- "Evan" (Welsh)


-- "Sean" (Irish)


-- "Shawn" (variant of "Sean")


-- "Shaun" (variant of "Sean")


-- "Ian" (Scots Gaelic)


-- "Iain" (Scots Gaelic)

Is there a Hindu name for John?
Actually, the language is HINDI (not "Hindu"). The Hindi Bible renders John as "Yuhanna" or "Yoohanna".
