Hanne

Hanne is a Germanic and Scandinavian feminine name functioning as a short form of Johanne or Hannelore, itself ultimately derived from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning God is gracious. It has been widely used across Denmark, Norway, Germany, and the Netherlands as an independent given name since the medieval period. The name shares its root with the English Hannah and Anne, as well as the French Jeanne and the Italian Giovanna.
