Jhon is an alternative spelling of the English given name Jhon (a variant of John), commonly used in South America, particularly in Colombia. The name originates from the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning "Graced by Yah" or "Yahweh is Gracious. " Over time, the spelling has evolved due to cultural and linguistic influences. Despite its misspelling, Jhon remains a popular name in Latin America, symbolizing grace and divine favor. The name's importance lies in its rich biblical heritage and its widespread use across different cultures.
