What is the meaning of the name Jonys ?

The baby name Jonys is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈdʒoʊnɪs/ (JOH-niss); alternative regional pronunciation /joʊˈniːs/ (yo-NEES).

Jonys is Latin in Origin.

Jonys is a rare masculine given name ultimately traceable to Hebrew Yohanan ("God is gracious"), via Greek Ioannes and Latin Iohannes to English John. The -ys ending echoes late medieval English spellings; Jonys/Johnys is attested in some parish rolls as a form of "John's," a by-form that fed the Welsh surname Jones, and gives the name a faintly Celtic-tinged look. As a given name in its own right, Jonys is chiefly modern, reading as a stylized blend of Jon with a Welsh- or Cornish-leaning suffix while keeping the classic meaning.

Variants and related forms include Jonis, Jony, Jonnys; John, Jon, Johnny; Jonas; Ioan, Ioannis; Ian, Iain; Sean, Shane; Ivan; Jan; Johan; Juan; Jean; Joao; Yannis; Giovanni. Short forms are Jon or Jony. The shared meaning across this family is "Yahweh is gracious," expressing divine favor or kindness.
