Hanaa

Hanaa is a feminine given name of Arabic origin. It derives from the Arabic noun hanā’ (هَناء) meaning happiness, bliss, or contentment, and it is associated with ease of mind and joyful living. The name is commonly written in Arabic script as هناء and is transliterated in many ways, including Hanaa, Hana, or Hannah, depending on dialect and country.

In Arabic-speaking communities, the name is used across the Middle East and North Africa and among Muslim communities abroad. It is typically a stand-alone given name rather than a compound, and it is valued for its positive connotations of serenity and pleasure.

In literature and modern media, Hanaa may appear as a character name or given name reflecting its pleasant meaning. The spelling variation can influence pronunciation in non-Arabic languages, but the underlying sense remains the same.
