Kanah is a gender-neutral name of Hebrew origin, meaning "stream." In the Hebrew Bible, it is used as a toponym in two distinct geographical contexts. Firstly, it refers to a border river between tribes, forming the boundary between Ephraim and Manasseh. This stream has been identified with various geographical locations, including Wadi Qana in the northern West Bank.
