Normally John. I dont think Jonathan was a common name then and would probably have been abbreviated differently |

LOL, true Rose, and how nicknames are so often longer than the original one :) |

This form is usually a contraction of the latin form of the name John: Johannes, but I've no idea why the O comes after the N in JNO. |
