Chanan

Meaning of Chanan

Chanan (khah-NAHN) is pure grace in a name. He hails from Hebrew, meaning “to bestow favor.” He struts into the modern world with the warmth of a sunlit plaza and the rhythm of a salsa beat. Though he’s rare in the U.S.—just seven newborns were named Chanan in 2019, ranking 915th—that only makes him more memorable. His roots stretch back to ancient scriptures. They give him timeless strength and quiet charm. Wherever he goes, he leaves a trail of smiles and open hearts. A single act of grace can light up an entire room. Chanan fits families who crave a name with soul, global flair, and a dash of Latin sabor.
