Jano

Meaning: (Yahweh is Gracious; Yahweh is Merciful, Well Born, Noble, a form of the name John.)

Origin: (Hungarian, Czech, Hebrew, Old Greek)

Pronunciation: (YAANow, YAH-no, jay-no)

Gender: Uni-Sex

My list is backed up for a while so I am finally getting to these names. Back during NaNoWriMo 2015 I had posted about it and a fellow blogger Apolla 13 commented about her experience with it and then told me a bit about the story she chose to write about. So for all of my posts for March I will be doing some of the names of her characters for the story she wrote for NaNoWriMo 2015 as I really like many of these names and have yet to add them so I am adding them now.

The meanings are lovely and beautiful. When I see this name I do want to pronounced it more jay-no but that is because I see it through an English speakers eyes. It is a decent name but I am not in love with it because the spelling for some reason doesn’t appeal to me as it seems like someone was trying to spell another name and just stopped short of the end. However the meanings do appeal to me and I wouldn’t be put off if I saw this name in a novel.
