Цанаан
Alternative forms
Etymology
Taken (at least as early as Wycliffe's Bible, 1382-1395, which has Chanaan) from Ecclesiastical Latin Chanaān,[1] from Антички Грчки Χαναάν (Khanaán), expanded from Χνᾶ (Khnâ), from Хебрејски כְּנַעַן (k'ná'an). The first vowel shifted from /aː/ to /eɪ/ in the Great Vowel Shift; at least as early as Milton (1660s), the word could already be pronounced with two syllables, though at least as late as the 1880s it could also be pronounced with three, /ˈkeɪ.nə.æn/.[2][3]
