Origin: French

Meaning: God has given

Whether winter is coming or not, you are sure to be thankful for your very own little ranger. Jon is a masculine name of French origin, meaning  “God has given.” A derivative of names like John and Jonathan, this pared-back spelling not only transports the name into today’s modern times but also takes one straight to Winterfell. Jon Snow, the beloved and stoic Night’s Watch Lord Commander and central character in Game Of Thrones, is probably the most famous holder of the name. Although you can’t count out other well-known faces like Jon Bon Jovi, Jon Favreau, and Jon Hamm. While it may take some years for baby to learn all they need to know, little Jon will always remember that you love them.
