  5. Jansen

    • Description:

      Jansen is a masculine name with Dutch and Scandinavian origins. It evolved as a patronymic surname meaning 'son of Jan' (the Dutch form of John), which ultimately derives from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning 'God is gracious.' As a first name, Jansen represents the modern trend of using surnames as given names. It has a strong, contemporary sound while maintaining historical roots. The name has gained modest popularity in recent decades, particularly in the United States and Northern Europe. Jansen offers parents a less common alternative to the ubiquitous Jackson or Jensen, while sharing their appealing masculine energy. The name's crisp sound and straightforward spelling make it both distinctive and accessible, appealing to those seeking a name with subtle Scandinavian or Dutch heritage.
