Juho is Finnish in Origin.

Juho is a Finnish masculine given name, a concise vernacular form of Johannes/John, ultimately from the Hebrew Yohanan meaning “Yahweh is gracious” or “God is gracious.” It reached Finland via Greek Ioannes and Latin Iohannes, filtering through the Scandinavian Johan before settling into Finnish phonology. The name appears widely in 18th–19th‑century parish records and peaked in rural communities; it later enjoyed a modern revival as parents favored brief, traditional choices. Finland marks Juho’s name day on 24 June, the Midsummer feast of St John. Notable bearer: President Juho Kusti Paasikivi.

Finnish variants and related forms include Juhani (often a middle name), Juha, Juhana, Jukka, and the nickname Jussi. International cognates span John, Johannes, Johan, Jan, Johann, Ivan, Sean, Ian, Juan, João, Jean, Giovanni, and Hans. The meaning conveys divine grace, while the brisk two-syllable form feels modern.
