Chane is in Origin.

Chane is a multi-root name. As an alternate spelling of Shane (the Anglicized Irish Seán, from John < Hebrew Yochanan), it carries the meaning “God is gracious.” In Jewish/Yiddish contexts, Chane represents the transliteration of Khane/Chana (Hebrew Hannah), a long-used female name meaning “grace” or “favor.” In Scotland and in Normandy-derived surnames, the close form Cheyne/Chayne comes from Old French chesne/chêne “oak,” sometimes inspiring the modern given name Chane. Usage is modern and unisex in the English-speaking world, appearing in late-20th-century records as a creative variant of Shane and as a simplified spelling of the Yiddish Khane. In South Africa you may encounter Chané (sha-NAY), a related accented form influenced by French-styled names. Variants and cognates include Shane, Shaine, Seán, John, Jane/Jean (for the John/Seán line), Chana/Hannah/Khane (for the Hebrew line), and Cheyne/Chayne (for the surname line).
