Core Meaningsgrace, favor, graciousness, showing favor, being inclined toward with kindness
Semantic RangePersonal name meaning favored or graced one; by extension, conveys the idea of one who has received divine favor or gracious regard.
Conceptual SignificanceAs 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 NotesProper 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.
