"Variant of Chana"
The name Chanie is commonly a female name from the "Hebrew" origin.
Chanie is a diminutive form of Chana, the Hebrew name that corresponds to Hannah in English. The -ie ending is a familiar diminutive suffix rather than a root of its own, so the name carries no separate meaning beyond that of the base name. Spellings with -i and -ie both occur.
Chana means "Grace of God, God is gracious.".
The pronunciation of Chanie is CHAY-nee.
