Please explain clearly how contact between England and Albania led to the English starting to use the form "John", and why they did not do the boring thing and get it along with their Latin bibles when they became angelic Angles.Or I shall be forced to conclude that ostriches also originate in Albania, and earn an honest living there sticking their heads in the sand.

You got it, Anneza!*Everybody* knows that "ostrich" is derived from "Oesterreich" (Austria) which we all know was an *Albanish* province!!!

Gjon was the father of the Albanian patriot Skenderbeu (Iskander Beg "Lord Alexander"). The Albanian patriot name his child to Gjon after his father. All this was on the year 1400

Aha! That explains the total absence of the name *John* in the UK prior to 1400 :P
