John the Baptist was known by his contemporaries as Iôannês or Johanan, none of his friends or enemies addressed him by the Quranic name Yahyâ.

 John Martin Family Home Page
Statistics compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau show that Martin, the 16th most common surname in the U.S., is held by 0.273% of the population, and that John, the 2nd most common given name for men (after James), is held by 3.271% of American males.
Thus, out of the 138,053,563 males enumerated in the 2000 census, about 377,000 would have the last name of Martin and, all other things being equal, some 12,300 of those Martin men and boys would have the first name John.
So there could be considerably more "John Martins" in the U.S. than the 12,000 indicated by this simple calculation, and worldwide, there could be double, triple, or quadruple that number.
