SIBI-P1 G2491-04
of Yohanan
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,GMS); proper name of Hebrew origin (יוֹחָנָן, Yohanan). The genitive case denotes possession, source, or close association. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form Ἰωάννου is genitive masculine singular, indicating possession or association. Rendering it as "of Yohanan" preserves the genitive relationship while retaining the Hebrew-rooted name meaning "Yahweh is gracious," rather than obscuring it behind the anglicized "John." |
