Introducing Hanan, a gender-neutral name of Hebrew and Arabic origin with love at its heart. In Hebrew, Hanan means "gracious," “gracious gift," or "God was compassionate." It's a strong biblical name that takes after a chief member of the tribe of Benjamin in the Hebrew Bible. The classic monikers John and Hannah share roots with Hanan, adding meaningful stories of faith, devotion, and respect to the mix. Its Arabic translation of "compassion" and "affection" is equally charming and can encourage baby’s warm and caring side.
