["SPAWN OF A JEWISH CARPENTER: CINDY SMITH" <cms AT dragon.com>]

I have read that the name Hannah (mother of Samuel) means "prayer."  
BibleWorks says that Hannah = "grace."  In a name book, I once read 
that Hannah means "full of grace, mercy, and prayer."  That's quite a 
mouthful for a two-syllable name.  

Would someone tell me if this is accurate?

Thanks.
