Cloud of the Lord or God has answered
A rare biblical name derived from the Hebrew elements 'anan', meaning cloud, and 'Yah', referring to the Lord. In the Old Testament, it is primarily used as a masculine name, but its soft ending has led to modern usage for girls. It symbolizes divine protection or a direct response from God.
