Is this surname Arabic, Hebrew or Assyrian?

[Sikeliot]

Mahana

?

I have seen it amongst Middle Eastern descended Americans but it's not always spelled that way, sometimes it has two Ns (Mahanna) and sometimes no initial a (Mhanna).

So he's Arab then. I asked because someone told me it might be an Assyrian surname.

Often amongst Hebrew and Arabic you find the same names or very very close names with variant spellings that ultimately have the same root.

Sounds more Arabic to me. Also a Polynesian name

Also a Polynesian name

LOL well that is random. None of the people I have seen with it are Polynesian though. After searching on Google it is particularly also overrepresented amongst Levantines in Latin America.

Youre right! It actually is a very common Poly word!
