Johnathin is of Hebrew origin and means "gift from God". It is a unique variant of the classic Jonathan, which shares the same meaning but has more historical and cultural recognition. Johnathin is composed of the elements "Yah", referring to God in Hebrew, and "-than", which signifies gift or donation. This name gained prominence during the Victorian era but remains relatively uncommon today, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name for their child.
Johnathin seems to have had its peak popularity during the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a total of 79 births occurring between 1984 and 1993. However, after 1993, the number of annual births named Johnathin began to decline significantly, falling below 10 births per year for most years up until 2010. Overall, there were 159 babies named Johnathin between 1984 and 2010.
