History & Origin

Lannah is a modern American spelling that can stand for Lana, a short form of Alana and Svetlana, or for a trimmed Hannah, from the Hebrew Channah, 'grace.' The doubled consonant and added h are decorative, part of the recent taste for softening tidy names into fuller-looking ones.

The spelling appears from the early nineteen-nineties and reaches its slim high around 2005 before easing off. A girl named Lannah then is a teenager or young adult today.

Did you know? Lannah rides the same wave that revived Hannah and Lana, taking a familiar sound and refreshing it with a doubled n and a trailing h.
