Ausgesprochen als (IPA)

/ˈd͡ʒɑn/

Etymologie (Englisch)

From the male given name John (q.v.), whose ubiquity led to extensive use of the name in generic contexts. Its use for toilets derives from John and Cousin John, which both probably relate to jacques and jakes, used in equivalent senses by the British and Irish.
