Borrowed from Sanskrit हंस (haṃsa), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ȷ́ʰansás (“goose”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂éns (“goose”). Compare Bikol Central gangsa, Hindi हंस (hans), Burmese ဟင်္သာ (hangsa), Kapampangan gansa, Malay angsa, and Waray-Waray gangsa. Some sources think it is from Spanish gansa (“female goose”), but this is rejected by Potet (2015).
