"John Weigel" does not have a specific etymology as it is a combination of two personal names: "John" and "Weigel".
The name "John" is of Hebrew origin and derives from the biblical name "Yochanan", meaning "Yahweh is gracious" or "God is gracious". It has been a popular masculine given name in English-speaking countries for centuries.
"Weigel", on the other hand, is a German surname. It is derived from the Middle High German word "wigele", meaning "willow tree". The name likely originated as a topographic name, referring to someone who lived near a willow tree or from a nickname for someone with willow-like traits.
When used together as a personal name, "John Weigel" is simply a combination of these two elements and does not have a distinct etymology itself.
