Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

(from the name of a male ancestor) or (from a house sign) or (from a personal characteristic) Hahn means “rooster” in German and there were two houses in Frankfurt that had the sign of the Red Rooster and the sign of the Golden Rooster. It may also be an unpleasant name conferred by the naming officials upon the bearer. Finally, Hahn became a byname for several Hebrew first names such as Hanoch, Elhanan and Manoah.
