Hanan -- a proper name meaning 'gracious,' borne by multiple individuals in the Hebrew Bible
Hanan (chanan, meaning 'gracious' or 'he has been gracious') is a proper name borne by several individuals across the Hebrew Bible: a Benjaminite descendant (1 Chr 8:23), a son of Azel in the Saulide genealogy (1 Chr 8:38; 9:44), one of David's mighty warriors (1 Chr 11:43), temple servants returning from exile (Ezra 2:46; Neh 7:49), Levites who assisted Ezra in reading the Torah (Neh 8:7; 10:10, 22, 26), and a son of Igdaliah whose chamber in the Temple Jeremiah used (Jer 35:4). Despite the multiplicity of bearers, the name functions as a single lexical entry. All languages preserve it by transliteration.
