As a masculine name, it's primarily a Finnish and Estonian variant of John, derived from Hebrew meaning 'God is gracious.'

As a feminine name, it can be a variant of Joni, itself a feminine form of John or Jonathan. The name has maintained modest usage in Scandinavian countries but remains uncommon in English-speaking regions.

The dual-gender usage and cross-cultural presence give this name a modern, flexible quality that appeals to parents seeking something familiar yet distinctive.
