I first came across this name in a book that was called, "Dealing With Relationships". It was designed to teach you how to DEAL with the problems that arise between different groups of people (related AND not related). Within the book, there were "Scenarios" which went through the problems which often arise between relatives and non-relatives. And one of the characters in these "Scenarios" was called HANIF! SO I HAD to look up the name, as I had NEVER come across it before!
