Cf. KJV PN Hen = Hebrew חן ḥēn “Favor, Grace”[1] (Zechariah 6:14), perhaps in a gentilic form meaning “Generous.”[2] The same phenomenon does take place for חוני ḥônî, the hypocoristic form of the Hebrew name yôḥānān “John, Yahweh is gracious” (1 Chronicles 12:2,4, Matthew 3:1).[3]
Possible also is Egyptian hn, hny, hnw, “praise (of god or king); rejoice”; hynw “jubilation,” which is a special arm-raising gesture made during the Sed-Festival.[4] The term is also used in parallel to dwЗ “worship”; wnw (BD 15:4-5).
Val Sederholm suggests Egyptian hni “tent-people,”[5] from hnt “hide, skin”; cognate with Hebrew ḥnh חנה “pitch tent; encamp” (Exodus 14:9, 18:5, 33:7, Psalm 34:8).
