Hanna

Hannah (Hebrew: חַנָּה‎‎‎), also spelled 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 Hannah spelling of the name was taken up as a given name by the Puritans in the 16th and 17th centuries, and it has always been a common Jewish name. Ann, Anne, Anna derive from Hannah through Latin. The Phoenician (Punic) name Hannibal derives from the same Canaanite root and means 'My grace is ba'al'. Hannah is a palindrome.
In the Books of Samuel, Hannah is the mother of the prophet Samuel. Hannah was infertile, so at temple she prayed that if God gave her a son, she would give him up to become a priest. After many years of praying she was blessed with a son, and named him 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.
In 2014, the Social Security Administration ranked Hannah the 23rd most popular name for girls in the United States.
