In the aforementioned article, the use of the Hann window is called "hanning", e.g. "hanning" a signal is to apply the Hann window to it. This has caused a lot of misconceptions about the name of the Hann window, leading many to call it the "Hanning window".

Julius von Hann (1839-1921), hoogleraar te Wenen, was een meteorologisch onderzoeker.
Omdat weersverwachtingen, die destijds berustten op het analyseren en interpreteren van weerkaarten, niet altijd goede resultaten opleverden, beschouwden de leden van de Oostenrijkse School het uitgeven van weersverwachtingen als "eine Sache fur Romantiker bei der man sich blamiert" (Gustav Hellmann), en ook als "immoreel en schadelijk voor het karakterter van de meteorloog" (Max Margules).
Von Hann zelf was bekend om zijn volledige kennis van wat er omtrent de meteorologie en de klimatologie in zijn tijd bekend was.
