"Johannes" (or Johan) is also the formal Dutch name for "John". "Jan" and "Hans" are also both nicknames for "Johannes" in Dutch.

"Johannes" is also used in Finland, although Juhani is much more common. However, King John would be Juhana in Finnish. Nice quiz!

Advice for the Welsh answer (and possible type-ins): 'Sion' is a more common form of John in Welsh (along with Ioan, Ieuan, and Ifan) - Evan is actually Anglo-Welsh, as the letter 'v' isn't in the Welsh alphabet, so I'd recommend using Sion instead or at least accepting it as a type-in :)

It's also the Welsh name for Father Christmas (Sion Corn, or John Chimney)!
