Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Hanah je pravopisný variant mena Hannah, pochádzajúceho z hebrejského חַנָּה (Ḥannāh). Meno súvisí s koreňom ḥ-n-n, ktorý vyjadruje prejavovanie priazne alebo milosti; jeho význam sa vykladá ako „milosť, priazeň“. Rovnaký etymologický základ majú mená Hana a Anna.
