Juan
Boy name · 10 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Juan: 10 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 1974.
Juan is the Spanish and Manx form of John, ultimately from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning “God is gracious.” It has been borne by numerous Spanish monarchs, most notably King Juan Carlos I, who played a pivotal role in the country’s transition to democracy, and by the racing driver Juan Manuel Fangio, five-time Formula One world champion. The name also appears in place names such as San Juan, the capital of Puerto Rico, and the Juan de Fuca Strait between Canada and the United States. While traditionally rare in Scotland, Juan offers a warm, international alternative to the Scottish equivalent Ian, and has grown more familiar thanks to global pop culture.
