Hanson Family Crest, Coat of Arms and Name History

Meaning, Origin, Etymology
English (chiefly Midlands and northern England, especially Yorkshire): patronymic from Hann or the byname Hand. Irish: shortened Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó hAmhsaigh (see Hampson 2). Irish: variant of McKittrick. Respelling of Scandinavian Hansen or Hansson.
Hanson is an Anglicized English surname of Swedish origin, created from the two words Hans and son (son of Hans). Spoken in English by a Swedish immigrant to America, for example, the sound of Hans’ son comes out sounding like Hansson, shortened to Hanson. In this same example, an immigrant from Norway would have a different accent, resulting in the sound of Hans’ sen, or Hanssen, shortened to Hansen.  This surname is of Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, German and Scandinavian origins and is a patronymic or metronymic meaning and is derieved from the personal name “Hans” and it could be from the mother or father. The patronymic is from “Hann” which is a German-Flemish short form of Johann, itelf being from the Hebrew “Yochanan” and the meaning “Jehovah has favored (me with a son).” The name was first found in Prussia and Denmark, where the name emerged during the medieval times and became a very notable family of the region.
