Detailed etymology (in Slovak)
Hanuš je západoslovanská podoba odvodená od nemeckého mena Hannes alebo Hans, ktoré vzniklo skrátením mena Johannes. To cez grécke a latinské podoby siaha k hebrejskému menu Jochánán (יוֹחָנָן) s významom „Boh je milostivý“ alebo „Boh prejavil milosť“. Zakončenie -uš je výsledkom slovanského hláskového a slovotvorného prispôsobenia.
