Gracious and small
A compound name combining Jon, a diminutive of the Hebrew John meaning 'God is gracious,' and Paul, from the Latin Paulus meaning 'small' or 'humble.' While often used as a double-barreled name, this single-word spelling is a modern variation. It carries a strong religious association due to the legacy of Pope John Paul II.
