The word Hanani (Hebrew: חנני‎) means "God has gratified me", or "God is gracious".

Hanani is the name of three men in the Hebrew Bible

• One of the sons of Heman (1 Chr. 25:4, 25).
• A prophet who was sent to rebuke king Asa of Judah for entering into a league with Benhadad I, king of Syria, against the northern kingdom of Israel (2 Chr. 16:1-10). This Hanani was also probably the father of the prophet Jehu (1 Kings 16:7).
• Probably a brother of Nehemiah (Neh. 1:2; 7:2), who reported to him the melancholy condition of Jerusalem. Nehemiah afterwards appointed him to have charge of the city gates.

Yehuda Hanani (Hebrew: יהודה חנני‎) is an Israeli-American cellist. He is a Professor of Violoncello at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music and an international soloist and master class teacher. Hanani studied with Leonard Rose at Juilliard and with Pablo Casals.

At the age of 19, Hanani was taken to the United States from Israel by Leonard Bernstein. Bernstein was in the country to guest conduct with the Israel Philharmonic, and heard Hanani perform. Bernstein had to personally write a letter to the head of the Israeli armed forces in order to secure Hanani's release from the army.
