Joan is the feminine counterpart
of John and yet it has never a the
common vogue of hat most popular
of male proper Joan signi-
hes gift of the Lord" and there is
considerable question as to whether
It's origin was English or Teutonic.
At any event, the name first made
Its appearance as Joanna and is said
to have originated with Joanna, holy
woman of the Gospel. She was never
canonized, so it is believed hat the
name was adopted rather in honor of
one of the Saint Johns than as a tri-
butte to her, particularly as there are
thirty feasts of Saint John on the
Roman calendar and only two in
honor of Joanna.
In the twelfth century the name
began to be used with inexplicable
frequency in southern France, when
ladies named Juana in Spanish, and
Jehanne or Jeanne in France mar
ried into every royal family of the
time. The first English princess so
called vas the daughter of Henry IL;
indeed, almost every king had a
daughter Joan or Jhone.
Joan MakepeaCe was the name
given to the daughter of Edward II.
when the long war with the Bruces
was partly paciffed by her marriage.
Another famous Joan was oan
Beaufort, the maiden Economically
beloved by the captive James l. AS
his widow, she so fiercely revenged
his death, it will be recalled.
Curiously enough, Hannah is de-
rived from loan through the German
favorite peasant na1ne, Johanna.
Hannah, however, is purely English.
For a time Joan, favorite name OF

otrope or bloodstone. 1t is an opaque
stone, deep green in color, and

mustic number is four.
