That is not quite correct I am afraid. As pointed out earlier, the
word is used in the Gothic bible and it is also mentioned as
components in German words like Hansagraf, which was a public office
in the South Gemran town of Regensburg mentioned in the 12th century.

Thanks a lot. You are probably right and I am accepting your view. But,
being a bit stubborn, are there not a few hundred unaccounted years?  St.
Hanse/Hans guilds in Denmark/Gothland/Visby connected with trade of furs on
Novgorod and Regensburg in the 12:th century. Are these two points of view
really excluding each other? I do not know myself.
Cheers
