The letter "j" is a transliteration of the Greek letter "iota," which is the transliteration of the Hebrew/Aramaic letter "yod." The letter "j" was a modification of the Latin letter "I" to signify that it was being used as a consonant and not as a vowel. this was first done in the 16th century.

I have just started a New Testament Greek class. And while learning the Alphabet
I noticed that there is no J in the greek. So where does the J in John come from
in the New Testament as in Mark 1:4?
