Aniaha

With a zippy, lively sound, Aniana is a rare Spanish name and a feminine form of Aniano, itself a variant of the late Roman name Anianus (or Annianus), borne by several popes, writers, deacons, and bishops. While the exact meaning is uncertain, it seems plausible that the name could come from the same root as Hananiah (or Hananias) meaning "Yahweh is gracious".  Alternatively, it might be an elaboration of Ania, another grace-related name.

Typically used as the Spanish and Portuguese form of Hannibal and more traditionally written as as Aníbal, this name has appeared in the US stats for girls a number of times over the years. There are a couple of explanations for this: one is that it is simply the result of data-entry errors, another is that parents were honoring a family name in their daughter's name, while a third is that it was used as a creative respelling on Annabel.
