Name list
Hans is a male given name in Afrikaans, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Faroese, German, Norwegian, Icelandic and Swedish-speaking populations. It was originally short for Johannes (Ioannes), but is now also recognized as a name in its own right for official purposes. The earliest documented usage was in 1356 in Sweden, 1360 in Norway, and the 14th century in Denmark. The name Hansel (German: Hänsel, IPA: [ˈhɛnzl̩] ) is a diminutive, meaning 'little Hans'. Another diminutive with the same meaning is Hänschen (IPA: [ˈhɛnsçn̩] ), found in the German proverb was Hänschen nicht lernt, lernt Hans nimmermehr; which translates roughly as 'what Hansel doesn't learn, Hans will never learn'. Separately derived, Hans is also a male given name meaning 'swan' in Sanskrit families of the Indian subcontinent.
