What does Jonatan mean?
Jonatan means “God has given”.
Jonatan is a form of Jonathan used in several languages, including Spanish and Scandinavian languages. The name comes from Hebrew and means God has given. Its biblical association is with Jonathan, the son of King Saul and the close friend of David, whose loyalty forms an important part of his story.
The spelling Jonatan leaves out the h found in English Jonathan while preserving the same name family. Its pronunciation follows the language in which it is used, so the initial J need not sound the same in Spanish, Swedish, and English. Jon is a possible short form, although many families prefer the full three-syllable name.
