Hannah

The name Hannah is taken from the Hebrew name Channah. Channah comes from ‘channan’, a Hebrew word that means ‘grace’, so the meaning of Hannah is 'graceful'. The name Hannah appears in the Bible as well. Hannah was one of the two wives of Elkanah, the other was named Peninnah. She was the mother of Samuel. When she was childless, she prayed to God for a son. When he gave her Samuel, in return Hannah gave her son to the High Priest, to devote his life to God to thank him for his blessing. Thus, the meaning of Hannah is also ‘the Lord Almighty has favoured me’, ‘favoured by God’ or ‘gracious one’, as God answered her prayers. There has been a number of famous figures with the name, such as the English author Hannah Allen, the Northern Irish musician Hannah Peel and the American poet Hannah Cowley.
