First name origin & meaning: English: Son of a nobleman First name variations: Ansen, Ansun, Ansonia, Hansen, Hanson Last name origin & meaning: English (found mainly in Yorkshire): patronymic from one of several
Middle English personal names. Reaney and Wilson have it as ‘son of
Hann’ or ‘son of Hand’. Bardsley explains it as ‘son of
Anne’, but Anne was not common as a Middle English personal
name, although this is very probably the sense of the Scottish surname
Anisoun. More plausible in a medieval context, perhaps, is ‘son
of Agnes’ (see Annis), or even ‘son of Anselm’.
