Hannah, also spelled Hanna , Hana , Hanah, or Chana, is a feminine given name of Hebrew origin. It is derived from the root ḥ-n-n, meaning "favour" or "grace". A Dictionary of First Names attributes the name to a word meaning 'He (God) has favoured me with a child'. Anne , Ana, Ann, and other variants of the name derive from the Hellenized Hebrew: Anna (Ἅννα)

The Phoenician (Punic) name Hannibal derives from the same Canaanite root and means "My grace is Baal".[1] In the Books of Samuel of the Hebrew Bible, Hannah is the mother of the prophet Samuel.
