From Proto-Norse *hānaʀ ‎(*hānaʀ), of uncertain origin. Perhaps a compound of *he- ‎(*he-) (corresponding to English he) and *ānaʀ ‎(*ānaʀ) (from Proto-Germanic *jainaz, corresponding to Gothic 𐌾𐌰𐌹𐌽𐍃 ‎(jains)) or even directly from *ānaʀ ‎(*ānaʀ) with h- added due to influence from the demonstrative pronoun hinn, or else perhaps directly inherited from Proto-Indo-European and answering to Ancient Greek κεῖνος ‎(keînos).
