Amora of Babylonia · 2nd generation×40 named in the Bavli17 tractates

Rav Chanan bar Rava, of the second Babylonian generation, was Rav's son-in-law, and his place in the Talmud is very largely that: of the forty times his name stands in the Bavli, fifteen introduce a teaching he carries in Rav's name, so that the formula Rav Chanan bar Rava said in the name of Rav is most of what he is.

He appears across seventeen tractates, spread thinly, with Avodah Zarah and Bava Batra the heaviest. The Bavli writes his name in two spellings, Chanan and Chanin.

Rav's son-in-law.
