Hana

Hana carries several distinct origins across different linguistic traditions. In Arabic, it derives from a root meaning happiness or bliss, and it is widely used in Bosnian and other South Slavic Muslim communities with that sense. As a Hebrew-rooted name, it is a form of Hannah, meaning grace or favor, and appears as a common given name in Czech, Slovak, Croatian, Slovene, Macedonian, and Sorbian-speaking regions. In Japanese it is written with characters meaning flower, while in Korean it can mean one or the number one, making it a name with rich and varied meanings across cultures.
