Jonas

Whale's reluctant passenger

Jonas is a masculine given name, the Greek form of the Hebrew Jonah.

The biblical prophet Jonah, swallowed by a great fish, appears as Jonas in Greek translations and in many European languages.

The name remains common in Scandinavia, Germany, and Lithuania: Jonas couldn't make it to the party. (Lowercase jonas is not a standard English word.)
