How to write John in Hebrew: יוחנן or ג׳ון?

“John in Hebrew” has an important ambiguity. The traditional Hebrew name is יוחנן, often written Yohanan in English. If you want the sound of the modern English name John, a phonetic spelling such as ג׳ון may be used.

Translation or sound?

Names can have an established equivalent, or they can be transliterated by sound. Those are different jobs. Before using a spelling on a document, gift, or tattoo, decide which job you need. The translation versus transliteration guide explains the distinction.

For general practice, type a name into the Hebrew name tool, then treat its result as an approximate learner spelling rather than official advice.
