Juan is a given name, the Spanish language and Manx language version of John. It is very common in the Isle of Man and in Spain (its origin) and in Spanish-speaking communities around the world. The feminine form in Spanish is Juana, or Juanita on its diminutive.

Juan (Mandarin pronunciation: [tɕy̯ɛn]; 娟, 隽) "beautiful, graceful" is also commonly used as given name for Chinese women. The Chinese character "卷", which is homophonic with the characters for the female name, is a division of a traditional Chinese manuscript or book and can be translated as "fascicle", "scroll", "chapter" or "volume".
