Johan Origin and Meaning

The name Johan is a boy's name of German origin meaning "God is gracious".

Still very Old European, conjuring up the image of a classical composer. But surprisingly, it's now been in the Top 600 in the U.S. since the turn of the 21st century, largely thanks to Heidi Klum and Seal's young son.
