Names With The Same Meaning as Hannah
My mom's name is Nanette, mine is Hannah. Both of our names mean the same thing, which is grace essential or God's grace, etc. I want to continue this trend and so need a legitimate list of names and pronunciations that have the same name meaning.
I really liked Gianna and Ona, however Gianna is supposed to be pronounced like John-a and I dislike that pronunciation a lot. So just need some help.
Thanks everyone!

Gianna Elizabeth -is Babette a possible short name from a derivative of the middle name?

"Ana" means "refer back" - as in "anachronistic"; or for a more relevant example with names - especially with meaning & heritage:
Anacoenosis - refers back to prior knowledge (ana / si / gnosos) Ana / syn / gnosis -
Probably my favorite example of this is when a teacher or professor while lecturing pauses to allow a student to respond, based on knowledge obtained through homework or pre-requisite study. To me this would elucidate a vital essence in honorary naming that would reflect a personal attribute within another person: reference (back) to what one knows "from" or "of" another person is synonymous with reflective.

Are you sure that you are in the right thread...?
The above names you listed are just forms of Anna/Hannah in other languages.

Hannah, by itself, means grace or favor.
It is Jo-Hannah (and derivatives) that means "God's grace."

Lavanya is closer to loveliness or charm than grace. The word lavaNa of unclear etymology had the meanings of salt, tasteful, graceful, beautiful, handsome, lustre etc., and lAvaNya (meaning quality of lavaNa) usually means loveliness or charm, smoothness in looks and in movement.
