Meaning of Hannah
Hannah is an indirect Quranic name for girls. It means loving, kind, sympathetic. The name’s origins come from the ancient Hebrew/Aramaic root H6-N-N, which is probably the same root for the name Yohanan (Hebrew for the Western name John/Johannes, which is the name of Prophet Yahya in the Bible). Interestingly, this root is only used once in the Quran, when speaking of Prophet Yahya/John in Surat Maryam:
[And when the son was born and grew up, he was told,] “O John! Hold fast unto the divine Scripture with [all thy] strength!” – for We granted him wisdom while he was yet a little boy, as well as, by Our grace, [the gift of] compassion and purity; and he was [always] conscious of Us. (Quran 19:12-13)
Some sources say Hannah bint Faqoodha (Saint Anne in the Christian tradition) was the name of the mother of Maryam (Mary), and therefore the grandmother of Prophet Isa/Jesus. This name however is not mentioned in the Quran, Hadith, or the Bible and there are no authentic sources to back this up.

The name Hannah is the name of mother of Prophet Jesus’s mother marry. (Quranic names Hana, Maryam & Isa) And for your kind information they were not Christian. Cristianism was formed long after the period of Prophet jesus.

Actually sharmill… it wasn’t really long after Jesus,that Christianity started. It technically started as he was preaching to people and people became His followers….and then even those followers became preaching and teaching. Maybe you mean Catholicism started long afterwards. 🙂

The Story of Maryam’s Birth
Allah tells;
إِذْ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةُ عِمْرَانَ
(Remember) when the wife of Imran said:
The wife of Imran mentioned here is the mother of Maryam, and her name is Hannah bint Faqudh.
Muhammad bin Ishaq mentioned that Hannah could not have children and that one day, she saw a bird feeding its chick. She wished she could have children and supplicated to Allah to grant her offspring. Allah accepted her supplication, and when her husband slept with her, she became pregnant. She vowed to make her child concentrate on worship and serving Bayt Al-Maqdis (the Masjid in Jerusalem), when she became aware that she was pregnant.
She said,
رَبِّ إِنِّي نَذَرْتُ لَكَ مَا فِي بَطْنِي مُحَرَّرًا فَتَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي إِنَّكَ أَنتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
O my Lord! I have vowed to You what is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services, so accept this from me. Verily, You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knowing.
meaning, You hear my supplication and You know my intention. She did not know then what she would give birth to, a male or a female
