The name Hans in Afrikaans has 2 meanings. It refers to an animal raised by humans. For example "hanslam" means a lamb raised by humans. Also if you say someone or something is "hans", it means it is very presumptuous. His name is very apt, becase both are true of Hansie.
Hmm, I never knew that. It is a very apt name!
