Meaning, use and context
Syriaca pairs ܝܘܚܢܢ with John of Ephesus and the romanization Yuḥanon. It documents a named historical bearer of the underlying Syriac name, not the frequency of a present-day catalogue spelling.
Youkhana and related romanizations are retained as catalogue/search forms. Their relationship to every regional spoken form needs separate evidence. The sources checked establish written personal-name use, not a literal etymology or universal pronunciation.
This is a written-attestation reference check, not a fluent-speaker or pronunciation review. Syriaca person records may be labelled draft; their attributed references and displayed name forms are used narrowly, not treated as final specialist certification.
