"Jehan" meaning in Old French

See Jehan in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /dʒəˈãn/ (note: Old French), /ʒəˈãn/ [Late-Old-French] Forms: Jehans [nominative, singular]
Etymology: From Vulgar Latin *Jeanes, from Latin Iohannes, from Ancient Greek Ἰωάννης (Iōánnēs), from Hebrew יוחנן (Yôḥānān, “Yahweh is gracious”). The initial -e- stem is a problematic/unusual change from Latin -o- in its morphological environment. The expected regular form leads to the alternative form Johan, that would into non-existent Modern French **Joan.
