Rannah can be read two ways: as a spelling of Rana, an Arabic name meaning 'beautiful' or 'lovely to gaze upon,' or as a blend that borrows Hannah's Hebrew 'grace.' The extra n is decorative. Either route gives it a soft, balanced two-beat sound; we present both and note the uncertainty.
It surfaced only around 1955 and 1956 and never rose above roughly sixteen girls a year. That makes it a brief mid-century appearance rather than an established name, and it has stayed rare since.
Did you know? Rannah is a mid-century rarity: it turns up in US records only around the mid-nineteen-fifties, given to a small handful of girls, so anyone who bore it then would be in their late sixties today.
