Juho

Juho is a Finnish masculine given name. It is the Finnish form of Johannes, which itself derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious." The name has a long-standing presence in Finnish naming traditions and has been used since at least the 19th century, remaining common among generations of Finnish men.

Juho has several related Finnish forms, including Juha and Juhani, all sharing the same etymological root. In Finnish pronunciation, Juho is typically spoken with two syllables, roughly ju-ho.

Notable people named Juho include Juho Kusti Paasikivi (1870–1956), a Finnish politician who served as president of Finland from 1950 to 1956. The name has appeared across various fields in Finland, including sports, academia, and the arts.

Today the name persists but is generally less common among newborns than in earlier eras, with its usage varying by region and generation. As a traditional name in Finland, it is often encountered in historical contexts and among older cohorts.
