Supported# Johanan (H3076L): A Biblical Name The Hebrew term יְהוֹחָנָן (yehochanan), transliterated as Johanan, is a proper noun—specifically a personal name—appearing once in the biblical text. The name carries a theophoric structure, combining elements that reference the divine, consistent with Hebrew naming conventions of the period. With only a single occurrence in the biblical corpus, this particular instance provides limited basis for establishing broader patterns of usage or significance. The name itself identifies an individual within the biblical narrative, but the lexical data provided does not specify which biblical figure bore this name or the contextual details surrounding its single mention. To understand the historical or theological importance of this particular Johanan would require examining the passage in which it appears, which falls outside the scope of the lexical entry itself.
