OSCAR

Gender: Masculine

Usage: English, Irish

Pronounced: AHS-kur   [key]

Means "deer lover", derived from Gaelic os "deer" combined cara "lover". In Irish legend Oscar was the son of the poet Oisin and the grandson of the hero Fionn mac Cumhail. Famous bearers of this name include a 19th-century king of Sweden and the Irish writer and humourist Oscar Wilde. The name Oscar could also represent a revival of an Old English name (meaning "god spear" from Old English os "god" and gar "spear").

 

FRANS

Gender: Masculine

Usage: Dutch, Scandinavian, Finnish

Pronounced: FRAHNS (Dutch)   [key]

Dutch, Scandinavian and Finnish form of Franciscus (see FRANCIS).

FRANCIS

Gender: Masculine & Feminine

Usage: English

Pronounced: FRAN-sis   [key]

From the Late Latin name Franciscus which meant "Frenchman". Saint Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan order of friars, was the son of a wealthy merchant who renounced his father's wealth and devoted his life to the poor. Later in his life Francis apparently received the stigmata. Another saint of this name was Saint Francis Xavier, a missionary to eastern Asia. Two other famous bearers were philosopher and scientist Francis Bacon, and explorer and admiral Sir Francis Drake. This name is occasionally used for girls.

 

JOHANNES

Gender: Masculine

Usage: German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Finnish, Estonian, Late Roman

Pronounced: yo-HAH-nes (German), yo-HAHN-nus (Dutch)   [key]

Ancient Latin form of Ioannes (see JOHN). The astronomer Johannes Kepler and the composer Johannes Brahms are famous bearers of this name.

JOHN

Gender: Masculine

Usage: English, Biblical

Pronounced: JAHN   [key]

English form of Iohannes, which was the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its consistent popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered as saints. The first was John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ and a victim of beheading by Herod Antipas. The second was the apostle John, also supposedly the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation. The name has been borne by 23 popes and eight Byzantine emperors, as well as kings of England, France, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Portugal and Hungary. It was also borne by the poet John Milton and the philosopher John Locke
