The baby name Annah is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced ˈænə (AN-ə).
Annah is Hebrew in Origin.
Annah is a modern variant that blends the timeless Anna with the final -h of Hannah. Its roots trace to Hebrew Channah, from the Hebrew root hanan meaning “to show favor,” giving the enduring meaning “grace” or “favor.” Through the Greek Anna and Latin Anna, the name traveled into Christian Europe, reinforced by devotion to Saint Anne (the mother of Mary) alongside the biblical Hannah, mother of the prophet Samuel. Annah preserves the same gentle, devout resonance while offering an uncommon twist.
Records show Annah in English-language use from the 18th-19th centuries onward, with notable contemporary frequency in parts of East and Southern Africa, where Anglicized biblical names flourished. Close variants include Hannah, Hanna, Anna, Ana, Anne, and Ann; related forms and diminutives include Annie, Annika, Anya/Ania, Nancy, and Hebrew Chana/Channah. All share the core sense of graciousness and favor.
