Juaan is a contemporary respelling - and in some regions a given-name variant - of Spanish Juan, the Iberian form of John.

Pronunciation typically follows Juan - hoo-AHN in Spanish, often JOO-an in English - so Juaan rarely changes stress or meaning. Across traditions, the name carries the enduring sense of divine grace and favor.
