REMUS Gender: Masculine
Usage: Roman Mythology, Romanian
Pronounced: REE-mus (English) [key]
Meaning unknown. In Roman legend Romulus and Remus were the founders of Rome. Remus was later slain by Romulus - now the Romulus bit I knew that's why I laughed so hard and was so impressed when his code name on Potter watch was Romulus! Ah good one JK
JOHN Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: JAHN [key]
English form of Iohannes, which was the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its consistent popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered as saints. The first was John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ and a victim of beheading by Herod Antipas. The second was the apostle John, also supposedly the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation.
The name has been borne by 21 popes and eight Byzantine emperors, as well as kings of England, France, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Portugal and Hungary. It was also borne by the poet John Milton and the philosopher John Locke.
