The name John derives from the Latin Johanne, simplified from Johannes, which derives from Greek Ιωαννης, Iōannēs, in turn from Mishnaic Hebrew יוחנן Yôḥānān, Yohanan,with the original meaning being "God is merciful."

Czech name is JAN
Informal is Honza(from German Hans.),Jenda, Jeňa
Informal diminutive Honzík,Jeník, Jeníček

Jan. No one is called this as they prefer Honza, or some equivalent, Honzik, etc.
