Janssen Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Dutch, Dan, Non, Swedish) The son of Jan, Dutch and Scandinavian form of John (gracious gift of Jehovah).
Originally from Guelderland. The head of the family was the Baron do Heez, one of the Protestant leaders against the Inquisition and the tyranny of the Duke of Alva; he unfortunately fell into the hands of the Duke of Parma, and lost his estate and his life. On the dispersion of bis family, his youngest son took refuge in France, and settled at Angouleme, where he lived to a very advanced age, leaving "a great estate and a numerous issue." His grandson, Theodore Janssen, removed into England in 1680, and was subsequently created a baronet by George I.
