I have the same name - but the Northern European version, Johanna.

It's a woman who went to the grave of Jesus, after he was resurrected. The Bible says that she was married to "a rich man". No such luck for me! Nothing else is known about her.

Sure they do - American names are usually fun and interesting.
Apart from the extremely weird habit of giving women surname as their Christian names. I.e. "Taylor".


I am fascinated by the meaning of Asian names --- from Asian friends I have heard all the beautiful meanings of these names. Some would really be quite a challenge to live up to.
