This name is used in Belarus. The native spelling is identical to the Ukrainian one.
And I think both languages use it as a form of Anna rather than Hannah, but I'm not sure. [noted -ed]
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'.
