起源与历史

Patronymic surname meaning 'son of Jens', the Danish and Norwegian form of Johannes, from Hebrew 'Yohanan' meaning 'God is gracious'. Jens is a specifically Danish-Norwegian short form distinct from the more widely used Hans or Johan, and it became extremely common as a given name in Norway and Denmark during the Lutheran Reformation period when biblical names were favoured. Jensen is consequently one of the most common surnames in both Norway and Denmark, as well as among Scandinavian communities in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
