See Hans in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

Etymology: From German Hans, a medieval short form of Johannes (“John”), from Latin Jōhannēs, Iōhannēs (a variant of Jōannēs, Iōannēs), from New Testament Ancient Greek Ἰωάννης (Iōánnēs), a contraction from Hebrew יוֹחָנָן (yôḥānān) (Yohanan, Yokhanan), (perhaps) from a short form of Hebrew יְהוֹחָנָן (yəhôḥānān), meaning "YHWH is gracious". First recorded in Norway in the 14th century.
