Hannah is a palindrome name - it's the same forwards and backwards, just like grace!
Hannah is primarily coded as a female given name across English, Hebrew, and Germanic traditions (from Hebrew Channah, 'grace'). While technically available to any person, cultural association with femininity is strong and historically consistent.
Use Hannah as stated for individuals who claim it; do not assume gender from the name alone. When collecting demographic data, allow self-identification to override name-based inference.
Women and non-binary people named Hannah have contributed across sciences, arts, and public life; avoid erasure by defaulting assumptions about their professional roles or expertise based on name alone.
