    I believe that it is customary for males to take the name of their father as a middle name.
    Yes, it is.

    My grandfather's brother's middle name is listed as Ewan
    Well, it currently sounds like "Юэн", which reminds me of "Иван" that is definitely a Russian equivalent for John.

    Another month ends. All targets met. All systems working. All customers satisfied. All staff eagerly enthusiastic. All pigs fed and ready to fly.

    Ewan being an alternate spelling for иван seems entirely reasonable to me. w and в are pretty related.
