Origin of Jonathan
-
From Hebrew יְהוֹנָתָן (yehonatán) (Jehonathan) and יוֹנָתָן (yonatán) (Jonathan) means ("Jehovah has given"), apparently with influence from the Aramaic preference for the latter form. Jonathan is often incorrectly considered to be a variant of John.
From Wiktionary
After Jonathan Hasbrouck (died 1846), American jurist and gardener
