Language & etymology
What the name means.
Yohannes belongs to the John name-family, ultimately related to Hebrew Yochanan, “Yahweh is gracious.” The Hebrew source is used for calculation. It is a personal name, not a divine title.
Gematria
The numeric value.
Yod 10 + Vav 6 + Chet 8 + Nun 50 + Nun 50 = 124
Numeric value is a traditional interpretive practice; it is not the word’s etymology and does not establish doctrine.
Paleo-Hebrew character
A devotional reflection.
These ancient Hebrew-script forms accompany a devotional meditation, not a historical translation or proof of etymology. Letter-picture associations are interpretive and do not establish doctrine.
