Origin: Scandinavian

Meaning: God is gracious

Hanns is a gorgeous boy’s name of German and Scandinavian origin. Coming from the Hebrew name Yochanan or John, Hanns means “God is gracious,” letting you look upon your little one like the glorious gift they are. While you probably recognize the name Hanns for its more common counterpart Hans—think film composer Hans Zimmer—Hanns, thanks to its extra “N,” has a fresh, new feel that might just make it a cut above the classic! You may know Hans from music and movies, but Hanns is history in the making.
