Juan

«God is merciful»

Few words, real weight: Juan is of Hebrew origin, and that meaning is its birthright.

1 is its number and Sun its planet. A natural leader—independent and pioneering. It all adds up to something clear: leadership, courage and originality.

Three numbers, three layers of Juan:

Expression 1 · Sun: A natural leader—independent and pioneering.

Soul 4 · Uranus: its quiet engine: security and order.

Personality 6 · Venus: people meeting them sense a presence that is kind and caring.

Hebrew is the language of the Bible and one of the richest sources of names with deep spiritual meaning. That is where Juan comes from — and its «God is merciful» arrives today without losing its shine. By its number 1, Juan is linked to the day Sunday, the color Gold, the element Fire and the stone Topaz.

Juan is in a quieter moment. Between 2020 and 2025, 15,028 boys named Juan were registered in the U.S. (rank #148), according to the Social Security Administration.

It ranked #103 in the 2010s, so it's heard less often now. That has its charm: a name everyone recognizes, that fewer classmates will share.

It has ranked in the top 200 continuously since the 1980s: over four decades among the favorites.
