Is there a Hindu name for John?

Question

Better yet, what are all the names for John in all of the languages you can think of?

Answer 1

There's no real Hindi or Hindu equivalent (unlike there is in the other European languages).

But Indians often say the word "John" as "Jaan" or, if they are addressing a visitor named John, they often say: "Jaan Sahib".

Here are the equivalent for "John" in some European languages:
-- "Jean" (French)
-- "Johann" (German)
-- "Jan" (Dutch)
-- "Giovanni (Italian)
-- "Juan" (Spanish) -- "Ivan" (Russian)
-- "Evan" (Welsh)
-- "Sean" (Irish)
-- "Shawn" (variant of "Sean")
-- "Shaun" (variant of "Sean")
-- "Ian" (Scots Gaelic)
-- "Iain" (Scots Gaelic)

Answer 2

Actually, the language is HINDI (not "Hindu"). The Hindi Bible renders John as "Yuhanna" or "Yoohanna".
