Hau is a notion made popular by the French sociologist Marcel Mauss in his 1925 book The Gift. Surveying the practice of gifting, he came to the conclusion that it involved belief in a force binding the receiver and giver. The term 'Hau', used by the Maori, became a paradigmatic example for such a view. Writing at the turn of the century, Mauss relied on limited sources but his analysis has been expanded and refined.
Hau is a surname. It may be a variant spelling of the Chinese surname Hao 郝, the Cantonese spelling of the Chinese surname Hou 侯, or a Danish surname.
