Hans-Martin is German in Origin.

Hans-Martin is a German compound given name pairing Hans, the traditional short form of Johannes (Hebrew Yohanan, "Yahweh is gracious"), with Martin, from Latin Martinus, "of Mars; warlike," also associated with St. Martin of Tours. The combined sense evokes divine favor joined with strength or martial courage. Hyphenation reflects a Central European naming custom that links two established saints' names into one unit.

Usage is concentrated in German-speaking countries and parts of Scandinavia (often written Hans Martin). It rose with mid-20th-century double names and remains conservative, scholarly, and continental in tone. Variants and equivalents include Hans Martin (unhyphenated), Johann(es) Martin, Hannes Martin, Jan-Martin, Jean-Martin (French), John Martin (English), and Juan Martin (Spanish); reversals like Martin-Hans also occur. Diminutives include Hansi, Hansl, and Martl/Tino. Notable bearers: Hans-Martin Schleyer (German industrialist) and Hans-Martin Sutermeister (Swiss physician and humanist).
