Hanan
Hanan is a name of Semitic origin. In Hebrew it is a masculine name, of the meaning "gracious", "gracious gift". In Arabic it means "compassion". The name John is speculated to derive, via Latin and Greek, from the Hebrew name Yehohanan or Yohanan meaning "Yahweh is gracious". The word 'hanan' is exclusively mentioned in the Holy Qur'an while describing Prophet Yahya (John the Baptist) in Surah Maryam 19:12-13.
