Meaning & History

(male) Originally a medieval back-formation from Hankin, which is composed of Han (a short form of Jehan John) + the Middle English diminutive suffix -kin. However, the suffix was mistaken for the Anglo-Norman diminutive -in, hence the form Hank. Hank is now sometimes used as an independent given name in North America, where it is usually taken as a pet form of Henry. It has more or less died out in Britain.
