Hello,

On my Great Grandmother's grave her middle name is listed Chazanoah or
Hazanoah. She came to America >from Talsen Courland in 1891. Her family
seems to have roots >from Lithuania, Kovno Province.

Does this mean daughter of a cantor? If so would someone be called that if
they were not a daughter of a cantor? What other information do you have
about this name? What would be its origins?
