Favored Woman
| Root | חנן (ḥ-n-n) |
| Core Meanings | grace, favor, graciousness, showing favor, being inclined toward with kindness |
| Semantic Range | Personal name meaning favored or graced one; by extension, conveys the idea of one who has received divine favor or gracious regard. |
| Conceptual Significance | As the mother of Samuel (1 Samuel 1–2), Hannah embodies the theme of divine favor granted in response to humble petition. Her name underscores the theological motif that YHWH graciously inclines toward the lowly and barren, transforming reproach into blessing. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, feminine singular (HNp). The form חַנָּה is a feminine personal name built from the root חנן, with a doubled נ characteristic of the nominal formation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name חַנָּה derives from the root חנן ("to show favor, to be gracious"). Rendering it as "Favored Woman" preserves the core idea of grace or favor embedded in the root while reflecting the feminine singular proper noun form indicated by the morphology (HNp). |
