Jan 點讀?

To the poster above - wrong! It isn't the 1st sound of January at all - try that on someone called Jan and you'd probably receive a punch in the face.
Jan is pronounced as 'Y-An'. It has a Y sound and a heavy A sound. It's an European name so the J isn't the same as that in English.
Oh and it's a BOY'S name, never ever a girl's name!
Any doubts? Have a look on the web or any baby name's books!
Good luck.

Um I didn't make myself very clear in my answer - the 'Y' sound I'm referring to is more like a 'ya' sound (so not Y the letter! and if you know German, it's like 'Ja'). So the pronounciation is 'ya-an'

如果是荷蘭文的話，Jan肯定是男孩子的名字。他是從英文的John(約翰)轉化而來的。荷文的維奇百科全書有清楚的解釋：

不過現在男子、女子的名字都沒那麼清晰了；正如衣服一樣，很多都是UNISEX(男女合穿)。

也有女孩子Janice簡稱Jan。

讀音則似 YA-N(荷文發音)

January開頭果音

男仔女仔都ok
