Chana comes from the word chein which means pleasant.

Not sure about Akiva, I think its aramaic.

Chana means grace

Akiva from the loshon Eikev meaning heel.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name Chana.

I think it is so graceful and elegant in both sound and meaning.

Also, the letters stand for the 3 mitzvos of a woman - Challah, Niddah, Hadlakas Neiros.

It also was my beloved grandmother's name.

I would have wanted very much to give the name to my daughter, but it is my MIL's Hebrew name (although she is known by her English name so I don't associate it with her).
