Ivan is a Christian male given name that is primarily associated with Slavic languages. It is the most common Slavic variant of the name "John". ==Etymology== Ivan is the common Slavic Latin spelling, while Cyrillic spelling is two-fold: in Bulgarian, Russian, Macedonian, Serbian and Montenegrin it is Иван, while in Belarusian and Ukrainian it is Iван. It is the Slavic relative of the Latin name ''Johannes'', corresponding to English ''John''.〔(MFnames.com - Origin and Meaning of Ivan )〕 This Slavic version of the name originates from New Testament Greek ' (''Iōánnēs'') rather than from the Latin ''Io(h)annes''. The Greek name is in turn derived from Hebrew יוֹחָנָן (''Yôḥānān'', meaning “‘Yahweh is gracious’”). The name is ultimately derived from the Biblical Hebrew name יוחנן (), short for יהוחנן (), meaning "Yahweh is merciful". Common surnames derived from the name Ivan, are Ivanović commonly used in Montenegro and Serbia, and Ivanov, commonly used in Russia and Bulgaria. "Ivanovich" is a Russian patronymic/middle name meaning "son of Ivan/John" or "Ivanson/Johnson". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ivan (name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
