Caranah is a modern feminine name, most often interpreted as a blended form of Cara and Hannah. Cara comes from Latin carus meaning dear or beloved and is also the Irish word for friend; Hannah derives from Hebrew Channah meaning grace or favor. Together, Caranah suggests beloved grace or gracious friend. The -ah ending places it with contemporary English-language names that favor soft, vowel-final silhouettes.

Recorded use of Caranah is rare before the late 20th century, with current usage scattered in English-speaking countries among parents seeking an uncommon, lyrical alternative to Cara or Hannah. Spelling and stylistic variants include Carannah, Caranahh, Karanah, Carana, and Caranna. Related names on the Cara branch include Cara, Kara, Carina, and Carissa; on the Hannah/Anna branch, Hannah, Hana, and Ana. Possible nicknames are Cara, Cari, Ana, Naya, and Rana.
