2584. Channah
Berean Strong's Lexicon
Channah: Hannah

Original Word: חַנָּה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine
Transliteration: Channah
Pronunciation: khan-NAH
Phonetic Spelling: (khan-naw')
Definition: Hannah
Meaning: Channah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָנַן (chanan), meaning "to be gracious" or "to show favor."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Hannah, the concept of grace and favor is captured in Greek by the word χάρις (charis), Strong's Greek #5485.

Usage: The name Channah, or Hannah, means "grace" or "favor." In the Bible, Hannah is a significant figure known for her devout faith and her role as the mother of the prophet Samuel. Her account is primarily found in the book of 1 Samuel, where she is depicted as a woman of deep prayer and commitment to God.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, a woman's ability to bear children was highly valued, and infertility was often seen as a source of shame. Hannah's initial barrenness and her subsequent prayerful petition to God reflect the cultural pressures and personal anguish she faced. Her vow to dedicate her son to the Lord if granted a child demonstrates her deep faith and trust in God's providence.
