Reply:John is “Yawchanan” or יוחנן Yôḥānnā in Hebrew. I think בפטיזם is Baptist.
Reply:"The name John has a long history that traces back to Hebrew name יוחנן Yôḥānnān, which means "Yahweh is gracious". Yahweh is the name of the god of the Jewish people. Yôḥānnān was the name of several important Jewish rabbis in the Second Temple Period in Palestine, such as Yochanan ben Zakai and Yochanan ben Nuri.





"The name had gained popularity among Jews in Judea and Galilee by the time the area became a province of the Roman Empire in 6 C.E. It was the given name of Yochanan ben Zechariah, a Jewish prophet known in English as John the Baptist. "
