SIBI-P1 G451-01

Anna (Graced-One); of Anna (Graced-One)

Morphological NotesProper noun of Hebrew origin. Forms attested: nominative feminine singular (Gr,N,,,,,NFS,) and genitive singular, tagged masculine in the morphology (Gr,N,,,,,GMS,), functioning syntactically as a genitive of relation or possession. Indeclinable in Greek form.
Rendering RationaleThe name derives from the Hebrew root חנן meaning "to show grace" or "to favor," so "Graced-One" preserves the underlying semantic connection. The nominative feminine singular form functions as the subject ("Anna"), while the genitive singular form expresses possession or association ("of Anna"), and both are reflected explicitly in the rendering.
