I remember we had to learn about a poet by the name of Janus Pannonius in school. As his name suggests, he was Hungarian. He was also a catholic priest and a bishop. He is regarded as the first Hungarian poet who achieved international fame (although his poems were not in Hungarian but in Latin of course).

Janus Zeal is a character in the game Chrono Trigger. Born in the Dark Ages as the prince of the Zeal kingdom, he was accidentally transported to 12,600 years in his future and grows up to become Magus, a critical antagonist/ally in the game.
That said, there's controversy over how his name would be pronounced, either the Latin way (Yah-nus) or the Anglicized way (Jay-nus). It's never specified.
Love this name.

In Latin it would be pronounced: "yah-nus". There was no J in classical Latin; rather, "i" could serve as both a vowel (with an "ee" sound) or consonant (with a "y" sound). Currently, it is common to change the consonantal "i"s to "j"s. An alternate spelling: Ianus.

I bet the other kids in school would just cover the J with some ink or something. Not an easy name to live with, especially with immature brats around.
