What is the meaning of the name Hani ?

The baby name Hani is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced HAH-nee (English: /ˈhɑːni/; Arabic: /ˈhaːni/).

Hani is Arabic in Origin.

Hani has layered origins. In Arabic, Hāni or Hāniʾ (هاني/هانئ) is a masculine given name meaning “happy, contented, at ease,” from the root h-n-y “to enjoy, congratulate”; common feminine counterparts include Haniyah/Haniya/Hania (هانية/هانيه). In Hebrew, Hani or Chani (חני) is a familiar short form of Chana/Hannah, “grace, favor,” and sometimes of Hanina, “gracious/compassionate,” making it a unisex nickname. Through Arabic influence it also appears in Persian/Urdu and Somali use for girls with the same upbeat sense; Korean Ha-ni (often romanized Hani) is a modern name whose meaning varies with chosen Hanja.

The name is attested early in the Islamic world - most notably Hani ibn ʿUrwa (d. 680 CE), a Kufan notable - and remains widespread in the Levant and Egypt, as well as in Israel and diasporic communities. Variants and transliterations include Hani, Hany; feminine Haniya, Haniyah, Hania; Hebrew Chani.
