It gained steady currency in English from the Reformation onward and saw renewed popularity in the late 20th century.

Variants across languages include Jonathan, Jonathon, Johnathan, Jonatan, Yonatan, Yehonatan, and the Iberian forms Jonatán (Spanish) and Jônatas/Jonatas (Portuguese); Latin American spellings such as Jhonatan, Jhonattan, and Jonnatan also occur. Diminutives and short forms include Jon, Jona, Johnny/Jonny, and Jono. Jonnattan, with its doubled n and t, is rare but recognizable in Hispanic contexts, reflecting phonetic or stylistic preferences while preserving the traditional biblical meaning.
