Henna (حنّا) is an Arabic name for John.
It is a common given name as well as a surname, particularly among Arab Christians.
The Arabic / Hebrew female name Hannah (حَنَّة meaning "blessed") is rarely also anglicized as Henna.
[citation needed] The Hebrew female name Hannah is also used in Yiddish as Henna, Henny or Chienna, and anglicized to Henna.
