Get the fart boy harry mug.
The name John is derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning “graced by God.” Harry, its English short form, was considered the "spoken form" of Henry in medieval England. But when combined, the name means an assertive, cocky oddball who's a simp for cars. Jk I dunno who you are and only you can define you.

Get the John Harry mug.The name John is derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning “graced by God.” The name Harry, on the other hand, is primarily a male name of English origin that means Army Ruler. Originally a diminutive form of Harold or Henry. When combined, the name John Harry stands for a piece of shrimp who's a simp for cars. Just kidding I dunno who you are and only you can define you. I'm guessing that you wanna become a doctor like your mom or dad? I dunno but i know for the fact that you'll be an amazing surgeon.
