Well probably you wanted to know were the name Hansa came from. Actually the name originated when Joseph Farrugia (the founder of Hansa stores) was studying the German language. Somehow he was told that the world Lufthansa in English meant air united, that is why he called it so, united family. But after that some reserch was made and other versions were found, the following is one of them.
The Logo of Lufthansa evidently shows that Hansa to be a Swan and Hansa is a Sanskrit word for Swan. Germany has always believed in Aryan Philosophy, if you remember the Swastik symbol of Nazis. In Sanskrit, the word lupth (u pronounced as in put) means ‘extinct’ ‘hidden’ or ‘gone’ or ‘disappeared’. It’s an adjective. The word hansa means duck or swan.
When an aeroplane service first started in Germany, the aircraft they employed in service were pure white, resembling huge white swans. When these aeroplanes would fly into the sky and grow slowly smaller and disappear, they would look like swans disappearing into the heart of the sky. In Sanskrit, the word that could describe them was lupth-hansa, or the hidden swan.
Today, the German air service is one of the largest in the world, slowly extending its network. These days, they’ve fused their network with the Indian one, and newspapers and billboards are full of their ads. It's called Lufthansa, and their symbol, the swan taking flight, still nestles in their logo in every advert.
But whatever the world Hansa may mean, in Malta is definitely known for the good quality products at the best prices.
