Help[Facts] Re: Johann
in reply to a message by Michael Calder
I found two things:
1. Johann = short form of Johann(es Baptist or Evangelist/a)
SEIBICKE, Wilfried: Historisches Deutsches Vornamenbuch, 1996ff.
2. Johann […] It was a fashion in the 17./18 century to combine Johann with a second forename, which was the actual first name: Johann Sebastian Bach […], Johann Gottfried Herder […], Johann Wolfgang Goethe […]
KOHLHEIM, Rosa und Volker: Das große Vornamenlexikon, Mannheim 2003
Hope this helps.
