Grace, in the Hebrew given-name tradition.
The exact English feminine given-name entry connects Hannah with the Hebrew personal name and its grace gloss. The separate Irish and Scottish surname sense is not used as a competing personal-name meaning. The licensed grace claim is supported, without making every part of the older narrative independently verified.
Hebrew given name romanized into English.
The English personal-name sense documents Hebrew ancestry and English romanization. English is a language of use, rather than the earliest root in this account; the unrelated surname history stays separate.

Directly recorded English pronunciation of the exact given-name spelling. The plain-text guide is approximate; a bearer’s preferred reading can differ. No audio reused.
Recorded English reading, as published. Accents and preferred pronunciations can differ.
Counts apply only to the exact spelling, place, year and recorded usage shown. Places are separate; these figures are never added into a worldwide total. Missing or suppressed records never mean zero.
| Place | Year | Recorded usage | Published births | Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canada | 2025 | Girls | 509 · preliminary | 35 | 2025 figures are preliminary. Quebec counts below five are randomly imputed by the publisher before national aggregation. Accents are removed in the source; this profile was matched only where the catalog spelling was unambiguous. Unpublished values are unknown, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| France | 2025 | Girls | 200 (rounded to 5) | 269 | Counts are rounded to the nearest multiple of five. Ranks use unrounded publisher counts with randomly ordered ties; equally rounded counts can have different ranks. National coverage excludes Mayotte before 2012. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Automated direction labels are withheld for this rounded-count series. Rank basis: source published. |
| England & Wales | 2025 | Girls | 439 | 105 | Published ranks differ from ranks calculated over visible rows. Counts retained; automated trend labels withheld. Rank basis: source published. |
| Northern Ireland | 2025 | Girls | 43 | 42 | Two rank discrepancies and alternate-view differences retained. Automated trend labels withheld. Rank basis: source published. |
| Scotland | 2025 | Girls | 64 | 64 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| Ireland | 2025 | Girls | 168 | 21 | Names below three occurrences are unpublished. Accent recording changed in 2018; comparisons across that boundary may not describe the same spelling coverage. Counts refer to registrations in the year. Missing years are unavailable, not zero. Rank basis: source published. |
| United States | 2025 | Girls | 3,973 | 56 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
| United States | 2022 | Boys | 7 | 9823 | Source-reported counts; unpublished names are not zero. Rank basis: calculated from published counts. |
