Rannah is Hebrew in Origin.

Rannah is a rare feminine name with layered roots across languages. In Hebrew it aligns with the r‑n‑n stem - found in rinnah and Renana - conveying “joyful song,” “cheer,” or “exultant ringing.” It is also treated as an embellished form of Hannah (Hebrew Channah), yielding the meaning “grace” or “favor.” In Arabic, Rannah echoes Rana/Ranā, a verb meaning “to gaze” or “look intently,” which inspires readings such as “enchanting” or “captivating.” These parallel etymologies make Rannah a multicultural choice centered on joy, beauty, and grace.

Usage is sporadic: the name appears in late‑19th and early‑20th‑century English‑language registers as a creative variant of Hannah and surfaces today in Jewish, Arab, and diaspora communities. Variants and related forms include Ranna, Ranah, Rana, Renna, Rena, Rinnah, and Renana; cognates and inspirations include Hannah/Channah and, by association, Raina/Rayna.
