Name Meaning
German and Dutch: from a shortened pet form of the personal name Johann (see John ).
English: from the Middle English personal name Hann, commonly a pet form of Henry (Middle English Hanry). Hann could also be a rhyming pet form of Randolph (Middle English Randal, shortened to Ran or Rand). Han was also a pet form of Joh(a)n in Middle Dutch, and it is possible that this usage was brought to England by Flemings after the Norman Conquest, but no evidence has yet been found that it was similarly used in Middle English. See Henry and Randall , and compare Hankin , Hancock , and Hanks .
English: variant of Ann with prosthetic H-.
