Hanaan is used as a feminine name throughout Saudi,Kuwait, Yemen and Egypt; seems almost everywhere in the Arab region. You suggest this name for boys as well. Is it common to name a boy Hanaan in some Arab country? Pls clarify.

What is the name of the sahabi who write every word of Muhammad peace be upon him?
on Wednesday 16th of December 2015 02:36:54 AM
it may be a different enunciation… Hanan (female), Han-Ahn (male)…which is seldom named.
Like most young parents, people are coming up with odd names and claiming it is historic…
someone told me Ronan is a companion of the prophet.
