Origin
Scottish Gaelic origin, derived from the name 'Iain' or 'John', originally a diminutive of 'Jock'. The name 'Jock' was used as a nickname for Scottish men and gained popularity in Australia through Scottish migration. It is related to the older Scottish term 'Jock', akin to 'Jack'. In historical Scottish texts, 'Jock' has been used colloquially for 'John' or as a generic term for a Scottish male. No specific Aboriginal or Māori roots are associated with this name.
Meaning
Literal translation of 'Jock' as a diminutive for 'John', meaning 'God is gracious'. In Australian English contexts, it connotes a friendly, informal male identity often associated with traditional masculinity or Aussie bravado.
