What Original Readers Understood
Supported# Johanan (H3110K) Based on the lexical data provided, Johanan is a Hebrew proper name that appears once in the biblical text. The lemma יוֹחָנָן represents a personal name rather than a common word with semantic range or grammatical flexibility. As a name occurring only a single time in Scripture, it does not establish patterns of usage that would allow us to trace evolving meanings or contextual applications. Without access to the specific biblical passage where this name appears, or to additional lexical information about its etymological components or the historical identity of the person bearing this name, the data permits only minimal analysis. The transliteration yo-cha-nan suggests a compound Hebrew structure, as do many biblical names, but the provided definition offers no explanation of its component parts or original meaning. The name's single occurrence limits our ability to assess its significance within biblical literature or its frequency among named individuals. To understand Johanan's role and importance, one would need to examine the narrative context of the passage where it appears and consult historical sources beyond the lexicon data itself. The information here confirms only that the name existed in Hebrew and appeared at least once in the biblical corpus.
