Source(s):	The Oxford Names Companion, OUP "Scottish Forenames" - Donald Whyte, FGH, FSG Private communication [IS]
Notes:	Scottish form of John [q.v.],, from Hebrew "God has been gracious", now in use throughout the English-speaking world. The Gaelic variant Iain is popular in Scottish communities rather than in English ones. A correspondent [IS] notes that in Skye, Scotland, Gaelic-speakers use John and Ian/Iain/Eoin interchangeably. In Gaelic areas with a reasonable influx of English speakers, the names might therefore be considered to be synonyms.
