Not really, it's a Gaelic variant of John. However, Jewish immigrants faced considerable prejudice against them, and children with distinctive Jewish names were frequently victims of bullying. So, immigrant families went out of their way to find WASPy sounding names for their children. Ian is a good example, although not as common in the Jewish community as equally non-Jewish names like Irving.
