Surnames: Johnston Submitted by: raymon jones Origin of Joh, Meaning of Joh Origin: The modernizing of the surname John, which anciently was pronounced with the "o" long as in Jone, into Jones, is a transition quite familiar to genealogists. Thus, ap. John, ap. Johns, ap. Jones, Jones. Welsh John, succeeding Welch John, and being called John's son, until in the course of time the name narrowed down into that of Jones and the first of the family who emigrated to America was Captain Christopher Jones, commander of the "Mayflower" (1620)-a trading man in the colony of the Pilgrim fathers and a "convinced friend" and subsequently, when the Pilgrims and Puritan colonies were in a prosperous condition, families by the name of Jones settled in America. The surname Jones ranks first in number among the family names of Wales; one Welch man in seven bearing the name. In England it holds second place. Being of patronymic derivation, it came into use as a family surname during the fifteenth century. Over fifty colonists bearing the name, progenitors of families, settled in New England before 1700; most of whom came from England, of Wales descent, settling in Massachusetts. They were very serious-minded and religious people, with whom life was a strenuous business.
