📖 Acerca de Jon
Jon es un nombre masculino que funciona tanto como variante ortográfica modernizada del inglés John/Jonathan, como la forma estándar de Juan en noruego, sueco e islandés. Derivado del hebreo Yohanan que significa "Dios es misericordioso", Jon en Escandinavia es un nombre completo — no un apodo — con profundas raíces en la cultura nórdica y luterana, históricamente uno de los nombres más comunes de Islandia. En el mundo anglosajón ganó popularidad en el siglo XX como alternativa moderna a John. Entre sus portadores famosos se encuentran el ícono del rock Jon Bon Jovi, el satirista político Jon Stewart, el actor Jon Hamm y el héroe nacional islandés Jón Sigurðsson.
