Hernan

Hernan is a masculine given name, originating in the Visigoth culture in Spain. It is the Latinized version of the compound name "Fard-nanth", which seems to mean "gentle traveler" or "spiritual pilgrim". The House of Hernan gave its name to those with the surname Hernandez, the -ez at the end denoting membership of that House. Though thought to be purely Hispanic, the surname is, like many Spanish surnames, of Teutonic-Gothic origin and was commonly given to the Jews in Spain.
