I think the usage is so old, the question could probably been 'why was jno an abbreviation...' It's maybe centuries old now!

Jno is the abbreviated of John and 'Jon' generally of Jonathan.

Well I never knew that. I'm convinced our Jno is female mind you, not that they have ever said which :-)
yes she has
Well there you go
I knew our 'jno' is female. I always thought her username was a derivation of 'do ya know?' As in, jno what....................
News to me and hardly seems worth it.
I always believed that Jno was an abbreviation of 'Do you know?'.

I thought it was a very clever username.
