About the Name Jonas
Jonas is a gentle Hebrew name meaning dove, the Greek form of the biblical Jonah. The dove symbolizes peace, hope, and new beginnings. In the Bible, Jonah's story of redemption inside the whale is one of the most dramatic narratives. Jonas Salk, who developed the polio vaccine, gave the name a heroic, humanitarian dimension. It feels both ancient and refreshingly modern.
