Hannah (Template:Lang-he) (Template:Lang-fa) (Template:Lang-ar), also spelt Hanna, Hana or Chana, is a Hebrew given name. 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
The name Hannah is of Hebrew origin but is a very popular name all over the UK and USA.
Anne, Ann, and other forms of the name derive from the Hellenized Hebrew: Anna (romanization of Ἅννα ).
The Phoenician (Punic) name Hannibal derives from the same Canaanite root and means "My grace is Baal".
In the Books of Samuel, Hannah is the mother of the prophet Samuel. Hannah was barren, so at temple she prayed that if God gave her a son, she would give him up to become a priest. After making this promise to the lord, she returned to her husband and conceived a son who she named Samuel. When the child was weaned (around 3 years old), Hannah gave him to Eli to be raised as a priest. She went on to have 5 more children. Hannah is also sometimes given as the name of the woman with seven sons described in 2 Maccabees.
