For the Irish

Great Grandfather was Irish and his name was John but he spelled it Jno, is that an old time Irish or may be Gaelic way of spelling John?

I've never seen that name used, it wasn't just abbreviated for official records?

No it was not abbreviated he always spelled his name Jno, I have his old front door name plate and its Jno, strange I was hoping someone in Ireland would have a logical answer for the strange way of spelling John...

Thanks for the reply Cool

The Irish for John is Seán. Never saw or heard of Jno. What was his last name? Maybe it is his initials?
