Yonatan
of Jonathan
Yônatan; a personal name meaning 'Yahweh has given'. Used as the name of several Israelite men, most notably Jonathan, son of King Saul. The name expresses the idea of divine gift or endowment, specifically from Yahweh. While the primary sense is that of a given name, it can also reflect the cultural practice of naming children with theophoric (divine name-bearing) elements to invoke blessing or favor.
