What is the meaning of the name Ohanna ?

The baby name Ohanna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced oh-HAN-nah (IPA: /oʊˈhænə/).

Ohanna is Armenian in Origin.

Ohanna is a feminine given name most plausibly rooted in the Semitic personal name Yohanan, “Yahweh is gracious” or “God is gracious.” Through Aramaic/Syriac Yohanna and Armenian Ohan-/Ohannes (forms of John), the initial sound shifts explain the O-/Oh- opening. The spelling also echoes the Hawaiian word ‘ohana (“family”), which has encouraged modern adoption, though that term is a separate lexical item and not the name’s historical source.

Use of Ohanna appears in Armenian and Assyrian/Syriac communities (alongside surnominal forms), with broader, creative uptake in the Americas and Europe in recent decades. Related and variant forms include Yohanna, Yohana, Johanna, Joanna, Ioanna, and the masculine Ohan, Ohannes/Hovhannes; cognates and diminutives include Gianna, Ivana, Ana, Hanna, and Jo. The name carries the long-standing biblical sense of divine favor and grace while resonating, for many, with the modern “family” association.
