| Summary: | [EN] In this paper, the Romance results of the Latin name Iohannes are studied, with special attention to those that present initial Yu- (semivocalic realization), such as Yuan and Yuañes, which, despite their high frequency in Old Spanish, have not received any recognition from researchers. Taking the Historical Corpus of Northern Spanish (CORHEN) as the main base, formed by documentation of local scribes from the current provinces of Burgos and Palencia between the 10th and 13th centuries, the autochthonous Castilian character of these variants with Yu- will be verified. Its geographical and chronological distribution will be studied, as well as its competition with those of prepalatal realization Jo- and especially with Ju-, which will be the form that ends up triumphing. |
