Reply:Hey if this is the original mimi, it's great to see you! :) You reminded me of a book called "Samir and Yonatan" about two boys, one Palestinian and one Israeli who meet in the hospital. I think you would like it. Anyway, based on that book I thought the name was Yonatan in Hebrew, not Yonathan.

First, there is no J in the Hebrew language J = Y


Yonathan, in Hebrew pronounced yo-na-tan, from yeh-ho-naw-thawn, meaning God (Jehovah) gave, was the eldest son of King Saul, and the best friend of the future King David. Jonathan is first mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (1 Samuel 13:1-2).
