Henna or Henya may be a Yiddish derivative of Chana


I'd love to hear more about that! I love the name Henya.

I don't really think there are any... Unless you connect to the style of names suggested here and feel like they are close enough to Chana


The style and closeness, yes, just none of the names speak to me yet. There's also a second name that it has to go with (the person I want to name for was Chana + second name) so has to flow right together.

Appreciate all the suggestions!

Maybe go with Chaya just because sounds similar. Or Chava.

I actually can't do either of those too Can't Believe It

But I'm doing some research on Henya and it's so interesting, I never knew it came from Chana but it seems quite legit.

Thank you to whoever posted that!

Ooh, Malka is nice too. I like how it's similar without actually meaning the same thing.

Would you do just the second name?

No, it's a very unusual name that the namesake hated (think Shvartzel or similar from the other thread).
