Johatan Origin and Meaning

The name Johatan is a boy's name.

Johatan is a variation of the Hebrew name Jonathan, which means 'gift of God' or 'God has given.' This less common spelling maintains the biblical roots of the original name while offering a slightly different phonetic quality. The traditional Jonathan appears in the Old Testament as the son of King Saul and friend of David. Johatan remains relatively rare in English-speaking countries but may be found in some Spanish-speaking communities. The name carries connotations of loyalty, friendship, and divine blessing, reflecting the positive qualities of the biblical character. While not as widely used as Jonathan, Johatan offers parents a distinctive alternative with the same meaningful heritage.
