Origin: Scandinavian
Meaning: son of Hans
Hanson is a boy’s name that means, quite literally, “son of Hans.” While it is Scandinavian in origin, Hanson is also attributed to the Anglo-Saxons, which could account for its common occurrence as an English surname. Hanson is a patronymic name, meaning that it derives from the father’s—or ancestor’s—name. If there isn’t a family member called Hans, however, don’t worry! Baby Hanson will still conjure images of strapping Viking youths and pay homage to your Scandinavian heritage.
