Biannah is in Origin.

Biannah is a modern feminine given name, most plausibly an elaboration of Bianna with the ornamental -h familiar from Hannah and Sarah. Bianna occurs in Eastern Europe and among English speakers, and is often explained either as a streamlined form of Bianca (Italian, from medieval French/Frankish blanc “white, fair”) or as a blend with Anna (from Hebrew Channah “grace, favor”). Taken this way, Biannah is read to mean “graceful” or “fair/bright.”

Usage appears rare before the late 20th century and fits contemporary trends for double consonants and soft -ah endings. Documented variants and near-forms include Bianna, Biana, Byanna, and Biahna; related names are Brianna, Bianca, Anna, and Hannah. Nicknames and diminutives include Bia, Bibi, Bee, Ani/Ana, and Nani. Because the name arose through blending and respelling rather than a single root, families may choose the meaning they prefer from its source elements.
