Handcock
ha-ndco-ck,
han(d)-cock
Origin:British
Meaning:Young Hann; God is gracious
Handcock is a masculine name of English origin that’s a spin on the centuries-old name Hancock. This title may bring to mind John Hancock, who was the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence. If you can imagine your bundle of joy being a trailblazer in the future, this name can work as personal motivation for them. Handcock’s English roots also create the meaning of “young Hann,” and Hann’s connection to the Hebrew John gives the additional meaning “God is gracious.” Whether you want to celebrate your faith with baby, encourage their youthful spirit, or connect them to a beloved Hann in your family, Handcock is a memorable choice.
