Grace or graciousness, in the Polish Hanna short-form tradition.
Hania explicitly clips Polish Hanna, whose biblical Hebrew ancestry is documented through Latin and Greek. Hannah supplies the grace-related root. This meaning belongs to the Polish route; it does not verify or replace the linguistic history of an unrelated Hopi name. The old licensed interpretation is retained as a candidate for further review.
Polish Hanna short-form tradition, with biblical Hebrew ancestry.
The reviewed Polish given-name entry records Hania as a Hanna diminutive. Polish Hanna traces through Latin and Greek to biblical Hebrew. This is one independently checked tradition; the older licensed Hopi interpretation remains separately preserved pending name-specific Hopi-language evidence. It is neither disproved nor combined with the Polish route.
