Etymology

From Proto-Italic *hāns, from earlier *xāns (to differentiate it from a later form *hāns if the shift */x/ > */h/ in the Italic languages already happened during late Proto-Italic), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂éns. The form is possibly influenced by unrelated anas. Cognates include Sanskrit हंस (haṃsa), Ancient Greek χήν (khḗn), Russian гусь (gusʹ), Old Irish géiss, Old English gōs (English goose), and Albanian gatë (heron).
