About Sinjin
The name St. John is much more usable in its phonetic spelling — similar to the way St. Clair evolved into Sinclair. St. John has some literary cred — St. John Rivers is a cool character in Jane Eyre.
St. John has been attached to a number of notable men — not as a first but as a middle name, one shared by Evelyn Waugh, Basil Rathbone, Richard Harris and Brian Eno.
Pronounced SIN-jin.
As of October 2026, Sinjin ranked #14031 in US births in 2022 SSA, peaked at #2812 in 1992.
