Håkan is a common Swedish given name. It has a common origin with the Norwegian given name Haakon (Håkon) in the Old Norse "Hákon". The meaning of the name is disputed but a possible meaning is "high son" from Old Norse "há-" (Proto-Norse "hauha-") (high) and "konr" (kin).

On Swedish runestones the name is usually written "Hakun" and in medieval documents usually "Haquon" or in the latinised versions "Haqvin"/"Haqvinus". In the Primary Chronicle the name is written "Yakun". From the 1500s the name is usually written Håkan.
