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".{{cite web|url=https://ahdictionary.com/word/semitic.html|title=Appendix II - Semitic Roots|first=Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing|last=Company|website=ahdictionary.com}} In the Books of Samuel of the Hebrew Bible, Hannah is the mother of the prophet Samuel.
