Help[Facts] Re: True origin of the name Joanna
in reply to a message by JOANNA, IOANNA
I'm not entirely sure what the purpose is of this post; all of what you're saying is already in the database already, see John. If other sites have it wrong, you should probably take it up with those specific sites.
Hannah is from Hebrew Channah (חַנָּה) meaning "grace" (in the context of favour or respect.)
Confusion between Joanna and Hanna likely comes from Hanna being a diminutive of the form Johanna in various European countries.
