Jonas is Hebrew in Origin.
From Hebrew Yōnāh, Jonas is the Greek and Latin form of the biblical prophet’s name, meaning “dove.” It entered European naming through the Vulgate and early vernacular Bibles, appearing in the New Testament as Iōnas in Greek; English translations sometimes use Jonas as a patronymic (“son of Jonas”). The name gained steady use across Germanic and Nordic countries and in the Netherlands and Portugal, with modern visibility from figures like immunologist Jonas Salk and the Jonas Brothers.
Note that in Lithuania, Jonas is the standard equivalent of John (Hebrew Yōḥānān, “Yahweh is gracious”), so bearers there reflect a separate origin. International variants include Jonah (English), Yonah (Hebrew), Ionas/Iōnas (Latin/Greek), Jonasz (Polish), Joonas (Finnish), Giona (Italian), Yūnus/Yunus (Arabic/Turkish), and Yonas (Ethiopian). Related short forms include Jon and Jona. The name conveys gentleness and peace through its “dove” image yet remains solid and timeless.
