I think it is Scottish. However some Jews may be named Ian to hide their Jewishness. Jews often change names so as to blend in.

No, it is Scottish for John. John, however, is a Hebrew or Jewish name derived from the Bible, so you could argue that it is in a way Jewish.

before there were Christian names, they were all Jewish names....shame to see that anti-Semitism is alive and well. I guess ignorance persists...
