Meaning & History

Truncated form of Johan, Johannes and its feminine equivalents. It's used as a short form of Johannesevangeliet (Gospel of John) in the Scandinavian translations of the Bible.

Joh can be found in old church records in Sweden, but was never actually used as a name at the time. Priests sometimes used a truncated form of a name when making notes, for example Johan Eriksson became Joh Ersson and Anders Olofsson became And Olsson.
