Comment left Feb 13, 2009: "Hans Means SWAN - the bird - in Hindi and I like the pronunciation of Hans (rhyming to Fans)as opposed to the German pronunciation Hahns or HAOUNS - to much stress on the syllables for such a short lettered name
Hans the swan is pronounced - Hunss with lot of stress on 's'....
Variant and comman name in India is
Hansraj - Swan King
I love the name -
It means 'God is Gracious' - but since I've grown into a NON believer - I like SWAN.
Swans are handsome and most beautiful birds
so there you have it - Swan - handsome -hans" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left May 17, 2007: "Quite common in the Netherlands where I live. It's my name. I have at the very least four acquaintances named Hans. In Dutch pronounced with the 'a' of 'a'ppropriate. Less Hans'es are born now than used to be in the sixties.
Dutch name dictionaries list it as a derivate of "Johannes", which translates to "John"." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 09, 2007: "Hans is German/Scandinavian and it's derived from 'Johann' the German/Scandinavian version of John. It's a VERY common name. Especially, but not exclusively, in rural areas there are many called Johann, and they are all nicknamed Hans. Johann is pronounced 'Yo-hun' and Hans 'Huns' - think of it as a plural of 'hun' and you know how to say it." (Report as inappropriate)
