Hanania is Hebrew in Origin.
Hanania is a Semitic theophoric name from Hebrew Ḥananyāh(u) (חֲנַנְיָה), built on the root ḥ-n-n “to show favor” with the divine element -yāh (“Yahweh”). It conveys “Yahweh has been gracious” or “God is gracious”.
In the Hebrew Bible, several figures bear the name, including Hananiah, the companion of Daniel known by the Babylonian name Shadrach (Daniel 1–3), a prophet opposed by Jeremiah (Jer 28), and several officials. The name persisted in Jewish usage through Second Temple and rabbinic eras, surviving in diaspora and revived in modern Israel, commonly as Hananya/Chananya. Through Greek and Latin it appears as Ananias in the New Testament; related forms occur in Syriac/Aramaic (Hananya), Arabic Christian contexts (Hananiya), and Romance spellings (Anania). Short forms and cognates include Hanani and Hanan; the feminine Hannah shares the same root but is a separate name. Variant spellings: Hananiah, Hananya, Chananya, Hananiya, Ananias, Anania.
