Hannah — mother of the prophet Samuel, whose prayer and vow at Shiloh became a model of faithful petition
The personal name of the beloved but barren wife of Elkanah who prayed at the tabernacle in Shiloh and vowed to dedicate her child to the LORD. All 13 occurrences fall within 1 Samuel 1-2, tracing her arc from anguished petition (1:9-13) through divine answer (1:19-20) to joyful song (2:1-10). Her name, related to the root for 'grace' or 'favor,' resonates with the theme of unmerited divine provision. Greek tradition renders it Anna, preserved in Spanish 'Ana' and French 'Anne.'

1. Channah — The proper name Hannah (Channah), mother of the prophet Samuel, attested exclusively in 1 Samuel 1-2. Her narrative follows a complete arc — barrenness and grief (1:2-8), fervent prayer mistaken for drunkenness (1:9-15), the vow and its fulfillment (1:19-28), and her psalm of thanksgiving (2:1-10). The name derives from the root ch-n-n ('to be gracious'), thematically linked to the grace she receives. 13×
