Jeancarlos

The story of Jeancarlos
Caribbean Spanish naming has borrowed from French for two centuries, partly through Haiti and partly through the general prestige of French in nineteenth-century Latin America, and the borrowings are visible in spellings rather than in whole names: Jean for Juan, -elle and -ette endings, and the doubled consonants of Yanelle and Marianne. Jeancarlos takes the French Jean and the Spanish Carlos as they stand, and the resulting compound is used as a single given name in the Spanish manner. American records close the space between them, and its best year on file is 2010.
Meaning
God is gracious, and free man
Jean is the French form of John, from Hebrew Yohanan, God is gracious. Carlos is the Spanish form of Charles, from Germanic karl, a free man or a man of the common people, the word that also gives English churl. Both meanings are settled; the compound has none of its own.
