Scotland / Re: Iain/John interchangeable
« on: Yesterday at 22:06 »Iain and John don't look or sound alike!
In Scotland J rhymes with I not with May as I believe the letter J developed from I, so you can see a link from Jan to Iain., also Ivan, Ivan or Ieuan. The origins of John is the Greaak Ioannes developing into Johannes, Johann John etc.
I know three generations of John, grandfather known as Jack father John and son Iain but all John on their birth certs.
