Jonathan
the name means Jehovah-given Strong's Lexicon
Jonathan, the son of Uzziah, was one of King David's officials in charge of the royal treasuries.
From Easton's Bible Dictionary
Whom Jehovah gave, the name of fifteen or more persons that are mentioned in Scripture. The chief of these are, (1.) A Levite descended from Gershom (Judg. 18:30). His history is recorded in 17:7-13 and 18:30. The Rabbins changed this name into Manasseh "to screen the memory of the great lawgiver from the stain of having so unworthy an apostate among his near descendants." He became priest of the idol image at Dan, and this office continued in his family till the Captivity.
