Where this word comes from
Originally a shortening of the phrases Sankt Johannes and Sankt Johannes’ dag (“Saint John; Saint John’s Day”), named after John the Baptist. By surface analysis, sankt (“saint”) + Hans (“Hans”), with Hans a short form of Johannes. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk sankthans (“Saint John's Day”) and Danish sankthans (“Saint John's Day; Saint John's Eve, Midsummer”).
