强纳生

Taiwan-style transliteration of 'Jonathan'. Mainland Chinese typically uses 乔纳森 (Qiáonàsēn) instead. You'll see 强纳生 in Taiwan dubs and book translations - for example earlier Chinese editions of 《海鸥乔纳森》 (Jonathan Livingston Seagull) and Jonathan Swift's (强纳生·斯威夫特) writings.

强 (Qiáng) 'strong' for 'Jo-' (Taiwan reads English 'Jo' as 'Cho/Qiao' - written 强), 纳 (nà) for '-na-', 生 (shēng) for '-thon' (lit. 'born/raw').
