由来と歴史

Patronymic surname meaning 'son of Hans', where Hans is the Scandinavian short form of Johannes, itself derived from the Hebrew 'Yohanan' meaning 'God is gracious'. The -sen suffix is the standard Norwegian and Danish patronymic ending, equivalent to the Swedish -sson and the English -son. Hansen became a hereditary family name in Norway during the nineteenth century when the government required citizens to adopt fixed surnames, and its frequency reflects how common the given name Hans was in Lutheran Scandinavia.
