The
name Jonas is a Hebrew baby name; in Hebrew the
meaning of the name Jonas is 'Gift
from God'
I think there is even more… pls let’s
ponder this
The sign of the prophet Jonas - Yet forty
days?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_%28name%29
Greek
etymology
Jonas possibly originates form the Greek
word Ίωνας (Ionas), a member of
the Greek tribe (Ιωνες) Iones or
Ionians, who colonized western Asia. It is the Greek
transliteration of "Jonah" (as in the Old Testament Book of Jonah).
Meaning
The Hebrew version of the name means Dove; That is
because word 'jonas' comes from the Greek word οιωνός, (pronounced: e-oh-nos) which means "sign",
because in ancient Greece believed that birds were sent by
gods as a sign to people. From this it is assumed that the
name Jonas means a peaceful being. As a variation of Jonah, it can be
considered to mean 'accomplishing', and a 'gift from
God'.

But he answered and said unto them,
An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a
sign; and
there shall no sign be
given to it, but the sign
of the prophet Jonas: |

A wicked and adulterous generation
seeketh after a sign; and
there shall no sign be
given unto it, but the sign
of the prophet Jonas.
And
he left them, and departed. |

And when the people were gathered
thick together, he began to say, This is an evil
generation: they seek a sign;
and
there shall no sign be
given it, but the sign
of Jonas
the prophet. |
|
|
For as Jonas
was
a sign unto the
Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this
generation. |
Jon 3:4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a
day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days,
and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
