The version of Arvanitika seems to me ridiculous. The old Greek Johannes was borrowed to Latine (Johannes again) and, then from Latine to German Johan (Johannes, Hans), English John and Grench Jean.
No influence from new Greek (demotika Helenika) or Albanian (Arbanitika) is possible.

Please explain clearly how contact between England and Albania led to the English starting to use the form "John", and why they did not do the boring thing and get it along with their Latin bibles when they became angelic Angles.
Or I shall be forced to conclude that ostriches also originate in Albania, and earn an honest living there sticking their heads in the sand.

You got it, Anneza!
*Everybody* knows that "ostrich" is derived from "Oesterreich" (Austria) which we all know was an *Albanish* province!!!
