Meaning & origin
Joncarlos is a modern compound name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1987. The name blends Jon, a shortened form of John (from Hebrew Yochanan, 'God is gracious'), with Carlos, the Spanish form of Charles (from Germanic 'free man'). Joncarlos saw its greatest use in 2011, its peak year, though it has never ranked among the top 1,000 names nationally.

While it has not been recorded in any specific top state data, it likely reflects naming trends within Hispanic communities in the United States.
