# Hananiah (H2608I): A Biblical Proper Name Hananiah is a Hebrew personal name appearing once in the biblical text. As a proper noun, it functions as an identifier for a specific individual rather than carrying semantic meaning in the way common nouns do. The name itself derives from Hebrew roots suggesting divine favor or grace—a common pattern in Israelite naming conventions—though the lexicon data provided does not elaborate on its etymological components. Given that this name appears only once in the biblical corpus, its significance is necessarily limited to the particular context in which it occurs. Without additional lexicon data specifying which biblical passage contains this reference, we cannot determine the individual's role, status, or importance to the narrative in which they appear. The single occurrence suggests this was either a minor figure or a variant spelling of a more commonly attested name in Scripture.
