Jansen is Dutch in Origin.
Jansen is a Dutch and Low German patronymic name meaning "son of Jan," with Jan the Dutch form of John, from Hebrew Yochanan, "Yahweh is gracious." While sometimes encountered in Scandinavia, the comparable form there is Jensen; in Dutch and Frisian regions Jansen and Janssen dominate. As a given name in English, it is pronounced JAN-sen; in Dutch, YAN-sen.
The surname has deep roots in the Netherlands and Flanders, where it ranks among the most frequent family names and was standardized in 19th-century civil records. As a first name, Jansen rose in the late 20th and early 21st centuries alongside the popularity of surnames-as-given-names and -son endings (Mason, Grayson, Jenson). Use appears in the United States, South Africa, and Australia. Notable variants and cognates include Janssen, Janson, Janzen (Plautdietsch/Low German), Jenson and Jensen; broader patronymic cousins are Johnson, Johansen, and Johansson. Across forms, the meaning remains "Yahweh is gracious."
