[Facts] Re: Er, it actually goes like this
Yes, correct. I skipped a few names to keep my post from being utterly boring, but I didn't think of planning it out like you did. *laughs full-heartly*

And how exactly did you get from the Welsh Gwenhwyfar to the Hebrew Yahweh. Jenna has absolutely nothing to do with John whatsoever.And we're not bored by painstaking accuracy here. Matter of fact, we like it.Devon

Jenna to GwenhwyfarJenna -> Jenny -> Jennifer -> Guinevere -> GwenhwyfarJenny today is used as a pet form of Jennifer, hence ultimately deriving from Gwenhwyfar.Jenny used to be a nn of Jane (a feminine form of John, of course), and still is, I suppose. But today's Jennys are much more likely to derive from Jennifer.Though I'm still confused as to why Jessica said John meant "Yahweh", forgetting the "is gracious" part. (No offence Jessica!)Miranda

Each of the names kept saying they were derived from this name and each related to another. I just kept clicking the links. Sorry for all the confusion I've created. ^_^;
