    Hufane

    Hu-fah-neh
    "Hufane means "the cleansed one," describing someone of physical cleanliness, pure heart, and unblemished character."

    Meaning

    Hufane derives from huf ("winnow," "clean," "shake"), the descriptive suffix -an (indicating the state or result of the action), and the possessive suffix -e. The name means "one who is clean" or "the cleansed one," describing someone characterized by cleanliness and purity. Hufane suggests a person who is tidy, well-kept, and free from impurities, like grain that has been winnowed and separated from chaff. Beyond physical cleanliness, the name celebrates a person of pure heart, transparent honesty, and unblemished character. Hufane embodies both external order and internal integrity, marking someone whose nature is as clean as their appearance.
