Strong's Lexicon Chanun: Hanun Original Word: חָנוּן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָנַן (chanan), meaning "to be gracious" or "to show favor." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name "Hanun," as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew culture and history. However, the concept of grace and favor is captured in Greek by words like χάρις (charis), meaning "grace" or "favor." Usage: The name "Hanun" means "gracious" or "favored." In the Bible, it is used as a proper name for several individuals, most notably a king of the Ammonites. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, names often reflected the character or hoped-for destiny of a person. The name "Hanun" suggests a person who is gracious or favored, which would have been a desirable trait for leaders and individuals alike.
