Jon-Paul

If you cannot choose between the two lovely names, Jon and Paul, why not combine them? This masculine moniker has both Hebrew and Latin origins and is a variation of John-Paul. The English name Jon or John comes from Iohannes in Latin, stemming from Ioannes in Greek, which traces back to the Hebrew moniker Yochanan. It means “Yahweh or God is gracious.” Paul hails from the Roman surname Paulus, which is Latin for “small” and “humble.” Saint John Paul II was the pope of the Catholic Church for over 26 years. He was the first non-Italian pope in more than 455 years at the time. With this in mind, your little one can feel connected to their faith by bearing the moniker Jon-Paul. Polite, quiet, and compassionate, baby Jon-Paul will certainly be a friendly addition to your life.
