From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] MEANING
Hannah can mean beauty or grace. Also Hannah/hanna can mean God has favoured me. The name is used in the bible. I also love the name hannah & find it very annoying when people assume or can't be bothered to put an h on the end of it. --86.140.238.39 17:26, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- The name doesnt mention God. That would require the name to contain el or iah or Jeh/Jah/Jo. See theophory. --User talk:FDuffy 17:58, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How many?
I wonder how many people are named Hannah? Do you ever think about that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.141.120.97 (talk • contribs)
- In the US, approximately 1 in 2222 women have the given name mnamed 'Hannah'[1]. The US has a population of roughly 301 191 000 people, and we can estimate that about 50% of those are female. Thus, (1 / 2 222) * 301 191 000 = roughly 135 549 people in the United States. Figuring out the world total is beyond my ken. Non-English-speaking nations will tend to use different spellings, of course. -- General Wesc 20:24, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fictional characters, bands, and so on
Should fictional characters such as Hannah Carpenter just be listed under 'People given-named Hannah'? How about Miley Stewart, a fictional character with the pseudonym Hannah Montana, which is also the title of the TV show in which she appears? (Not to mention the crossover special That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana.
Also, bands. Kill Hannah, for example. Seems like TV shows and bands would be nice to place together under the same heading.
Of cours, how comprehensive do we want this list, really? It doesn't seem liking listing people/things related to the name 'Hannah' is the primary goal of the article. -- General Wesc 16:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- I believe that most people who come to this page want to find various PEOPLE named "Hannah", not some list of places in America called "Hannah"! TheTrojanHought (talk) 22:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
