In the Quran

يَٰزَكَرِيَّآ إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَٰمٍ ٱسْمُهُۥ يَحْيَىٰ لَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ سَمِيًّۭا

اے زکریا ہم تم کو ایک لڑکے کی بشارت دیتے ہیں جس کا نام یحییٰ ہے۔ اس سے پہلے ہم نے اس نام کا کوئی شخص پیدا نہیں کیا

(It was said unto him): O Zachariah! Lo! We bring thee tidings of a son whose name is John; we have given the same name to none before (him).
