/anna/from spelling rules
Hannah is the Spanish form of the English female given name Hannah.
This term is used as a female given name.
Meaning: female given name (name)
How do you pronounce it?
/anna/
Did you know?
- The letter 'H' in 'Hannah' is silent in Spanish, meaning a native speaker reading the name might instinctively pronounce it as 'Anna'.
- If a Spanish speaker were to translate the meaning of 'Hannah' into a Spanish name, they might use 'Ana', which shares the same Hebrew roots.
- Writing the name with a double 'n' like Hannah may cause a Spanish speaker to pause momentarily, as most native names with that sound, like 'Ana', use only a single 'n'.
