The story behind the name

Hans is a masculine name of German and Scandinavian origins. Once used as a shortened version for Johannes, this name acts as a name in its own right, translating to “God is gracious.” The first person that may come to mind is fairytale writer Hans Christian Anderson, especially if you plan to tell classic bedtime stories to your bundle of joy. If you want a unique way to share your faith—and love for literature—an old-school name like Hans will make for a long-lasting reminder.
