Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָנַן (chanan), meaning "to be gracious" or "to show favor," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Hananiah, the concept of grace and favor is captured in the Greek word χάρις (charis), Strong's Greek #5485, which is often used in the New Testament to describe God's grace.

Usage: The name Chananyah means "Yahweh is gracious" or "Yahweh has favored." It is a common Hebrew name found in the Old Testament, often given to individuals as a testament to God's grace and favor.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often given to reflect the character of God or to commemorate significant events. The name Hananiah, emphasizing God's grace, would have been a reminder of the divine favor and benevolence that the Israelites believed was bestowed upon them. This name appears in various contexts, from priests and prophets to common individuals, indicating its widespread use and the cultural importance of acknowledging God's grace.
