Hanniah is a girl’s name of Arabic or Hebrew origin. As an Arabic name, it’s a variant of Hania, which means “a place to rest or be happy.” Evoking feelings of peace and contentment, this name could be a lovely way to invite those things into baby’s future. Hanniah may also be a variant of the Hebrew name Hannah, meaning “favor” or “grace.” A rarer, but equally pretty, take on that classic biblical name, Hanniah is a great choice if you want something a little different for baby.
