Brothers and sisters,

I have been wanting to change my name for a while now, and I have found one I like. On a website, I saw that "Hana" is Arabic for "happiness". Are there any Arabic speaking here that may confirm? Unfortunately, I do not speak Arabic. Only Urdu and English.

I would love feedback too!

Many thanks,

Why do you want to change your name?

It is not just a muslim or arabic name.

Hana \ha-na\ as a girl's name is pronounced HAH-nah. It is of Arabic, Japanese, Hawaiian, Spanish and Slavic origin.

MashaAllah, I think its a pretty name. One of our TTI sisters name/username is Hana.

Though, sis, you know you'll only *need* to change your name if your present name has a bad meaning.

Salam,

Many thanks for your replies!

I want to change my name for several reasons. First of all, nobody can pronounce it and even after rectifying them, they still get it wrong. Secondly, nobody knows what it means and I don't like meaningless things. The meanings that I have heard are not to my taste and nobody has ever given me a solid meaning, because I hear different things from different people. I think that is reason enough.

Salam

Yes sister, in this adjective form it actually means you are all of the happiness. It is written in Arabic as follows هناء I think it is a nice name and very light on the tongue. Congratulation on your new name. you can probably use your original name too, so you can have 2 now
