Origin & History
Patronymic surname meaning 'son of Johan', the Norwegian and North Germanic form of Johannes, from Hebrew 'Yohanan' meaning 'God is gracious'. Johansen is distinct from Hansen despite sharing the same root name, arising from the fuller form Johan rather than the shortened Hans. The name is extremely common across Norway, Denmark, and the Norwegian-American diaspora in the Upper Midwest of the United States, where thousands of nineteenth-century emigrants carried the surname to new communities.
