Rav Chana, of the fourth Babylonian generation. The entry is marked for review — more than one sage carries this name and the Bavli's bare form does not separate them.

He is named some thirty times across fifteen tractates, three of those inside another sage's patronymic, spread thinly with Ketubot, Berachot and Shabbat the heaviest. Beyond the generation and the company in which the name is cited, the reference tradition holds little that can be stated firmly of this form.

More than one sage of the name.
