Hanson

Hanson is a boy’s name that means, quite literally, “son of Hann.” While it is English in origin as a surname, Hanson has Flemish ties, as Hann is a version of John, which signifies “God is gracious.” Hanson is a patronymic name, meaning that it derives from the father’s—or ancestor’s—name. If there isn’t a family member called Hann, however, don’t worry! Baby Hanson will still pay homage to your heritage.
