Jehoichin is Hebrew in Origin.

Jehoichin is an uncommon Anglicized rendering of the biblical Hebrew name Yehoyakhin (יְהוֹיָכִין), more often spelled Jehoiachin. Formed from the theophoric prefix Yeho- (invoking YHWH) and the verb root kun “to establish,” it means “Yahweh has established” or “May the LORD establish.” Close variants and cognates include Jehoiachin (standard English), Jeconiah and Coniah (in Jeremiah), Yekhonya/Yekhonyah (Hebrew/Aramaic), and Iekonias/Iechonias (Greek/Latin).

The name is borne by the exiled king of Judah whose brief reign ended in 597 BCE when Nebuchadnezzar II deported him to Babylon; he appears in 2 Kings 24, 2 Chronicles 36, Jeremiah, and in Matthew’s genealogy as Jechonias. Extra-biblical Babylonian tablets even reference “Ya’u-kinu, king of Judah,” underscoring its historical depth. In modern use Jehoichin is exceedingly rare and feels archaic; most English speakers prefer Jehoiachin or Jeconiah, but all forms retain a strong biblical resonance.
