Lesson question

I am working on the lessons from hi.is. In lesson 2, part of the
exercise is to translate:
Óláfr á bát. Hann heitir Ormr.
I am thinking that it is supposed to be:
Olaf owns a boat. It is called Ormr.
But the original uses the pronoun "hann," where I'm thinking it
should be "þat." Otherwise, wouldn't it be, "he is called Ormr?"
Óláfr á bát. "þat" heitir Ormr.
Nominative case: I you he she it
Accusative case: me you him her it
Nominative case: ek þú hann hon þat
Accusative case: mik þik hann hana þat
Thank you!
