SI is usually J or G in names - since the alphabet does not contain a J.So if you changed Siobhan into Jobhan it gets a bit closer to the original. In the original, it is a Y rather than a J.Sometimes a name alternates between J, Y, I or nothing at the beginning.john, yochanan, yah=lord; chanan=gracious, merciful, to bestow, to show favour; kind to inferiors, cloud; +(-son); yochana=plot, plan, thought; jaun=lord; evan, leuan (welsh)=john, see Johnson; evan, eimhin, eim=prompt, ready, swift, active, quick;John names seem to be related to Hannah names, which explains the han in Siobhan.HANNAH - hannah, channah, anna=favour, grace; hann=grace; Hannah, hann-ah; hann=grace; -ah=feminine; chanan, charis, hanan=gracious; hanan=grace filled; hannah=gracious, merciful, he that gives;I'm trying to research Potter names so if anyone knows what Grawp or Snape or pigwidgeon really mean...
