Juan Carlos is a proper noun that primarily refers to a masculine Hispanic given name, commonly used in Spanish-speaking countries and communities. It is composed of two names, Juan and Carlos, each with its own distinctive origin and meaning.
The name Juan is derived from the Hebrew name Yochanan, which means "God is gracious" or "God is merciful." This name has its roots in religious and biblical contexts, as it was the name of several biblical figures. Carlos, on the other hand, has Germanic origins and evolved from the Old High German word "karl," meaning "free man" or "man of the people." It gained popularity through various European royal dynasties, particularly in Spain.
