Hann

Hann is a medieval English given name that originated as a short form of Johan, itself the Latin rendering of the Hebrew name Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. It was commonly used in England during the Middle Ages, when contracted pet forms of Johannes and Johan were widespread among ordinary people. The name gave rise to numerous English surnames, including Hanns and Hann itself as a family name. Related forms include Han, Hanno, and the fuller name John.
