I'm guessing Jaan a reference to this word in Hindi and Urdu: https://www.rekhta.org/urdudictionary/?keyword=jaan. At least, I hope.
It's also a common way to romanize the word for plate in Thai... but that seems less likely.

Reply to comment by ProphGhXXst in Philadelphia has now lost 3 major finals in one athletic year (MLS, MLB, NFL) by ins1der
NFC Champions, National League Champions, and Eastern Conference Champions in football, baseball, and soccer, respectively. Can't say it hasn't been a fun year with a lot to celebrate. I don't see anybody else who has gotten to cheer for so many teams all the way to the finals lately.

Reply to 47-story apartment building is planned above CVS store at 19th and Chestnut by ColdJay64
Love this building! It has such an interesting history. Raymond Pace Alexander, the first black Wharton graduate, carried out high profile civil rights litigation against the Aldine Theater shortly after getting his law degree from Harvard. He later had his law offices built across the street from the theater (the Alexander Building, which now houses Target).
