Haniah dances off the tongue with a gentle sparkle—huh-NY-uh—bringing to mind the Hebrew root Chanah, “grace” or “favor,” wrapped in a fresh, modern twist. Though you might spot only half a dozen baby Haniahs each year in the U.S., that rarity is exactly its charm: she won’t be one of a dozen in her Zoom class, yet she fits right in with timeless favorites. Warm and melodic, Haniah suggests a spirit both kind and resilient, like sunlight filtering through spring blossoms. It’s a name that whispers of compassion and quiet confidence, inviting little girls to grow into women who move through the world with effortless grace—and maybe just a hint of mischief.
