Johnnie
A name that started as a warm nickname to a formal first name, Johnnie is a variant of John. Owing to the meaning John has, the meaning of Johnnie is 'God is gracious'. Even though it traditionally was a masculine nickname, nowadays, it is used neutrally among both genders. This is mainly due to the current trend of feminizing masculine names by adding the suffix 'i.e.'. John, and as a result, Johnnie, originates in Hebrew. John is the most enduring of the biblical names and remains one of the most popular names even today. This thought extends to the name Johnnie too. Johnnie comes from Middle Latin Johannes, which in turn has been derived from Greek Iōannes. Iōannes is from the Hebrew Yohanan, which ultimately means 'Yahweh (god) is gracious'. Thus Johnnie is the perfect name for those who want a religious reference for their infant.
