Hans is a Germanic masculine given name in Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Faroese, German, Norwegian, Icelandic and Swedish-speaking populations. It was originally short for Johannes (John), but is now also recognized as a name in its own right for official purposes. The earliest documented usage was in 1356 in Sweden, 1360 in Norway, and the 14th century in Denmark.

The name "Hansel" (Template:Lang-de; IPA: /ˈhɛn.zəl/, ) is a diminutive, meaning "little Hans". Another diminutive with the same meaning is Hänschen (IPA: /ˈhɛns.çən/), found in the German proverb "Was Hänschen nicht lernt, lernt Hans nimmermehr", which translates roughly as: "What Hansel doesn't learn, Hans will never learn".
