What is the meaning of the name Hanny ?

The baby name Hanny is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈhæni/ or /ˈhɑːni/ (HAN-ee).

Hanny is Hebrew in Origin.

Pronounced HAN-ee, Hanny is a Dutch- and German-influenced short form of Hannah or Johanna, names derived ultimately from Hebrew Channah, meaning "favor; grace." In some families it has also served as a pet form of Hans/Hannes (from Johannes), making Hanny occasionally unisex, though it is primarily feminine. The -y/-i ending reflects a common Germanic diminutive pattern.

As an independent given name, Hanny appears in Dutch and German records from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and remains familiar in the Low Countries, Central Europe, and among Jewish communities via Chana/Channa lines; in English-speaking countries it is uncommon. Variant spellings and cognates include Hanni, Hannie, Hanne, Hanna/Hannah, Hana, Chana/Channa, and Johanna; related male forms are Hans and Hannes. Note that Hanny is sometimes conflated with Arabic Hany/Hani ("content, happy"), which is etymologically separate.
