Hamnås

Hamnås is a Swedish surname. Surnames in Sweden, including Hamnås, often have origins in nature, occupations, or places. The "Hamn-" component potentially refers to a harbor ("hamn" in Swedish) or pasture land near water, and the "-ås" suffix indicates a ridge or esker. Therefore, the name likely originated from a location with such geographical features, denoting a person from or associated with a harbor ridge. Due to surname adoption practices in Sweden, variations in spelling might exist (e.g., Hamnaas, Hamnass). Information on the current prevalence of the surname and notable individuals bearing the name would require accessing genealogical databases and other relevant Swedish records.
