Hannie Origin and Meaning

Hannie is a feminine name with Dutch origins, commonly used as a diminutive form of Johanna or Hannah. Both parent names have Hebrew roots, with Hannah meaning "grace" or "favor" and Johanna meaning "God is gracious." In the Netherlands and some Scandinavian countries, Hannie has historically been used as a standalone name rather than just a nickname. The name has a warm, friendly quality with its soft sounds and approachable feeling. While never reaching top popularity charts in English-speaking countries, Hannie has maintained steady usage in Dutch-speaking regions. Its vintage charm and sweet, simple sound make it appealing to parents seeking a name that is feminine and unpretentious.
