Hanns-Georg is German in Origin.

Hanns-Georg is a German hyphenated masculine name combining Hanns, an older spelling of Hans (from Latin Johannes < Hebrew Yochanan, “Yahweh is gracious”), with Georg, the German form of Greek Georgios, “farmer; earth‑worker.” The hyphen signals a single compound given name used in full. The spelling Hanns was fashionable among early–mid 20th‑century German speakers and appears with writers and composers, giving the pairing a slightly vintage, erudite tone. Usage is strongest in Germany and Austria, where double names were popular in the 1900s–1970s. Variants include the common Hans‑Georg, unhyphenated Hans Georg, Hanns Georg, Johann(-)Georg, and Hannes‑Georg; related forms abroad are John George and French Jean‑Georges. Nicknames often shorten to H.-G., Hans/Hannes, or, for the second element, Schorsch. As a whole, the name blends the meanings “God is gracious” and “farmer,” marrying biblical tradition with down‑to‑earth imagery.
