| Meaning |
The son of John or Johan, or Jone, as at first written and pronounced, bith masculine and feminine. In the 13th and 14th centuries Johan stood for both Johanes and Johanna. This being awkward, the masculine took the form of John (Jon), the feminine of Joan (Jone). But is it quite clear that for a time the sound Jone represented both. Joneson has become absorbed by Johnson. Indeea, Joynson is the only variant that remains.
