Hannah’s story is about her unwavering faith in God, being bullied, barren, and then having a child. Hannah (11th century BCE) was the mother of the prophet Samuel. According to Easton’s Bible Dictionary, Hannah means favor and grace. Hannah is of Hebrew origin. After years of being barren, she prayed to God for a son and was favored by God with a son hence the meaning of her name.
