Hanh is the Anglicized form of the Vietnamese name Hạnh.

Parents often choose it to express hopes for upright character and a blessed life. The tone-marked form Hạnh is standard in Vietnam, while Hanh appears in diaspora contexts where diacritics are dropped.

Use spans generations and regions, traditionally more common for girls but unisex - well known in Buddhist monastic names (e.g., Thích Nhất Hạnh). It frequently appears as the second element in compound given names such as Minh Hạnh, Ngọc Hạnh, and Kim Hạnh. Variants are primarily orthographic: Hạnh (accented) and Hanh (unaccented). Related Vietnamese virtue names include Đức, Hiền, Thiện, and Phúc; avoid confusing it with Hằng or Hàn, which are separate names.
