覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Juan はスペイン語圏の男性名で、英語の John に対応します。英語文中でも固有名詞なので先頭を大文字にして Juan と書きます。スペイン語では一般に「フアン」に近く発音し、英語式に綴りどおり読まない点が重要です。人名の Juan と、地名に含まれる San Juan「聖ヨハネ」を一緒に覚えましょう。
Remember Juan as the Spanish counterpart of John. Although it appears inside English sentences, it remains a proper name and is therefore written with a capital J: Juan. Its usual Spanish pronunciation begins with a sound like English h, so it is closer to “HWAHN” than to an English spelling-based pronunciation. Link the personal name with San Juan, literally “Saint John,” which occurs in many Spanish place names. This connection helps you recognize both the cultural setting and the historical relationship among Juan, John, Jean, and Giovanni.

juan の語源・成り立ち Etymology
スペイン語の男性名で、ヘブライ語 Yohanan（ヨハナン、「神は恵み深い」）に由来。Yo-（神）+ hanan（恵む）の構成。英語の John、フランス語の Jean、イタリア語の Giovanni と同源。スペイン語圏で最も一般的な男性名の一つ。
Juan is the Spanish form of a name ultimately derived from Hebrew Yōḥānān, traditionally understood as “the Lord is gracious.” The Hebrew name passed through Greek and Latin forms before developing into the corresponding names used in European languages. English John, French Jean, and Italian Giovanni share this origin. In Spanish, Juan became a widely used masculine given name and also forms part of San Juan, “Saint John,” a name applied to numerous places, churches, and institutions.
