The baby name Hasse is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈhɑsə/ (HAH-suh).

Hasse is Scandinavian in Origin.

Hasse is a Scandinavian masculine name, chiefly Swedish, functioning as a familiar form of Hans. Hans itself derives from Latin Johannes, ultimately from Hebrew Yochanan, "Yahweh is gracious" or "God is gracious." As a given name, Hasse emerged in everyday use in Sweden in the early 20th century and enjoyed particular visibility from the 1940s through the 1970s, helped by cultural figures such as comedian Hasse Alfredson and footballer Hasse Borg. It remains most common in Sweden and among Swedish-speaking Finns.

Variants and cognates include Hans, Johannes, Johan, Jan, Jens, Hannes, and diminutives like Hansel and Hansi. While Hasse occasionally appears in Denmark and Norway, it is primarily a Swedish nickname used independently. Note that German Hasso is unrelated. The name carries the traditional John-family meaning: a testament to divine favor or grace.
