What is the meaning of the name Johatan ?

The baby name Johatan is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced {'english': '/ˈdʒoʊhətæn/ (JOH-huh-tan)', 'spanish': '/xoˈatan/ (ho-AH-tan)'}.

Johatan is Hebrew in Origin.

Johatan is a modern variant of Jonathan, ultimately from the Hebrew Yehonatan/Yonatan meaning “YHWH has given” or “God has given.” It likely arose in Spanish-speaking contexts where Jonatán/Jonatan is common; the inserted h reflects influence from Johan and the Latin American spelling Jhonatan. Rare internationally, Johatan appears from the late 20th century in Latin America and among Hispanic communities in the United States.

The biblical root - Prince Jonathan, son of King Saul and devoted friend of David - anchors the name with associations of loyalty, courage, and generosity, as well as the sense of a divine gift. Close variants include Jonathan (English), Jonatan (Scandinavian/Spanish), Yonatan and Yehonatan (Hebrew/Israeli), Gionata (Italian), and Jhonatan (Latin American). Nicknames and short forms include Jon, Jona, Jony, and Nate/Natan. Related names by meaning are Nathan and Matthew; Johan and John are distinct but share the same Hebrew theophoric element (YHWH).
