Question

Honorable Rabbi, hello,

Is the name Yehonatan a good name for a boy? 

Thank you

Answer

Hello,

The name Yehonatan is good for a boy, and it is recommended to call him Yehonatan and not Yonatan (Minehagei HaRishon LeTzion, part 1, pages 294-295, in the name of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, of blessed memory).

With blessings,

Hillel Meirs
