The name "Janos" is of Hungarian origin. It is a variant of the name "János" in the Hungarian language, which is the equivalent of the name "John" in English.
The etymology of "János" comes from the Greek name "Ioannes" (Ἰωάννης) and its Hebrew equivalent "Yochanan" (יוֹחָנָן). These names have biblical roots and are derived from a combination of the Hebrew words "Yahweh" (the name of the Hebrew God) and "chanan" (meaning "to be gracious" or "to show favor").
Over time, as the name "János" spread and adapted within different cultures and languages, it eventually reached the form "Janos" or other variants in various regions.
