Hana is a name with several independent roots: in Japanese it means "flower", in Arabic "happiness" or bliss, and in Czech, Croatian and Korean usage it is a form of Hannah, which means "grace". That makes it one of the rare names that feels native in East Asia, the Middle East and Europe at once. In the United States Hana has been in the top 1000 since 2000, was number 859 in 2015 and ranks 658 in 2025.
