Hanns-Martin is German in Origin.

Hanns-Martin is a German hyphenated masculine given name combining Hanns - a spelling variant of Hans, itself the German short form of Johannes (Hebrew Yohanan, “Yahweh is gracious”) - with Martin, from Latin Martinus, “of Mars; warlike,” made famous by St. Martin of Tours. In German onomastics, hyphenated doubles give equal status to both elements and preserve them as a fixed unit. The double-n Hanns gained currency in literary and early 20th-century circles, lending the name a distinctly Central European tone.

Used chiefly in Germany, Austria, and German-speaking Switzerland, the name peaked in mid-century and recalls figures such as industrialist Hanns Martin Schleyer. Variants include Hans-Martin, Hans Martin, Hanns Martin (unhyphenated), Johann Martin, Johannes Martin, and the reversal Martin-Hans. Diminutives and short forms include Hanns/Hans, Martin, Hanno, or initialism H.-M. Combined meaning may be read as “God is gracious” + “warlike/strong,” suggesting pious favor joined with steadfast courage.
