I've seen girls named this around here where I live, so I'm not so sure about it being specifically all of the nationalities listed. I think it's just another way to spell 'Hannah'.
Yes this is an alternative spelling for Hannah but this spelling originated in the countries listed. So it is not typically reserved for exclusive use in those places but originated from them.
I love the name Hanna! It's an awesome name. I like it spelled H-A-N-N-A. I don't know why anyone wouldn't love this name! Oh and if you make it a palindrome it's not unique anymore.

This is my best friend's name. I used to jokingly call her "Annah," because it wasn't a palindrome. Our other friend's father always calls her "Hanna Montana," which is a drag.
I personally prefer Hannah, but this is a really pretty name! The reason is, to me Hanna looks incomplete without an extra -h. If I could, I would write the extra -h at the end of Hanna in novels.
Ok first of all I love it spelled without the H at the end. And I do like it with the H at the end. But my name is HANNA and I like it just the way it is. Very unique, it really is pretty BOTH ways with and without the h.

My sister's name is Hanna (pronounced almost HUN-ah), like without the 'h', and I think it's prettier than Hannah. Because Hannah looks like really chunky and bulky, no offense to those called Hannah.
Hanna Falk Cross is the main character of the comic Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name. He's enthusiastic but obnoxious, more than a bit unstable, and a paranormal investigator with more than a little attitude of a car salesman. He often doesn't see things very realistically at all.
