Which hormone is known as happy hormone?
The "happy hormone" is often associated with dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter and hormone in the brain that plays a key role in the reward system and is linked to feelings of pleasure and motivation.
Known as the "feel-good" hormone, dopamine is involved in the brain's reward system. It is released when we experience pleasure, which can lead to feelings of well-being.
Other hormones associated with happiness and well-being include serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphins.

Serotonin is the closest, more correct answer. Dopamine is the “reward” hormone, released when we experience pleasure such as from eating, listening to music, spending time with a loved one. Serotonin is the “feel-good” hormone, released to stabilize mood and reduce stress; it’s what gives the “runner’s high”. I’ve never heard of either one, or any other hormone, being referred to as the “happy” hormone.
