Hansraj is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
From Sanskrit hamsa 'swan' + raja 'king', Hansraj means "king of swans," a metaphor for purity, wisdom, and discriminating insight in Indian philosophy; the hamsa is the vehicle of Saraswati and Brahma and in Sikh poetry symbolizes the soul-bird. The name appears across North India among Hindu and Sikh communities, functioning both as a given name and a family name. It gained steady usage in the late 19th and early 20th centuries alongside reformist movements and modern education; figures such as educator Lala Hans Raj (namesake of Delhi's Hansraj College) and singer Hans Raj Hans have kept it visible.
Common variants include Hans Raj (two words), Hansaraj, Hamsaraj, and the classical Hamsaraja; regional spellings may render it as Hansraj/Hansaraj in Hindi and Punjabi scripts. Short forms Hans and Raj occur, though Hans can overlap with the unrelated Germanic name.
