I'd always wondered what my name actually meant and where it originated from.

My Dad and Mum couldn't decide what to name me so I have two names because of that.
Dad wanted to name me Hannah
Mum wanted to name me *Name is too embarrassing to say :oops: * You'll all laugh. Maybe my mum was on crack when she thought of this name but who knows :lol:

This is what I found out:

Hannah:-
Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: Grace / Merciful / Favour

Global Popularity:

#1 in Germany
#3 in Canada (Saskatchewan)
#7 in Austria
#7 in Canada (Ontario)
#8 in Canada (British Columbia)
#9 in Canada (Alberta)
#9 in Northern Ireland
#10 in Scotland
#11 in New Zealand

#16 in England
#16 in Ireland
#17 in United States
#18 in Australia (New South Wales)
#36 in Norway
