Yohanan (masculine singular proper name, “YHWH-is-gracious”)
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NMS = noun, nominative case, masculine gender, singular number; proper name of Hebrew origin used in subject position. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Greek Ἰωάννης transliterates the Hebrew יוֹחָנָן (Yōḥānān), meaning “YHWH is gracious.” As a nominative masculine singular proper noun (NMS), it functions as a male personal name in subject form; the rendering preserves both its Hebrew meaning and its grammatical identification as a singular masculine name. |
