Происхождение и история
Welsh patronymic surname meaning 'son of John', derived from the given name John (itself from Hebrew 'Yohanan', meaning 'God is gracious'). The Welsh patronymic system attached '-s' to a father's given name to form a heritable surname, making Jones the Welsh and English equivalent of 'Johnson'. It is overwhelmingly the most common surname in Wales and the second most common in the UK overall.
