<li><b>Name</b> – Ḥananel (or "Chananel"); some historians believe that his given name was Elhanan, but at some point later in his life he became referred to by the name&#160;Ḥananel.<fn><p>This is based upon the fact that a letter of R. Hushiel b. Elhanan, the father of R. Hananel, refers to his son "Elhanan," who also appears in documentary evidence as a judge in Kairouan at the exact same time period as R. Hananel, and there is no evidence that R. Hushiel&#160;had two sons who were both rabbinic scholars.

<li><b>Location</b> – Kairouan (or "Qayrawan"), in modern-day Tunisia. Most historians believe that R.

Hananel as איש רומי, "a man from Rome," (which is a general reference to Italian lands), and if R. Hananel is to be identified as the same "Elhanan" referred to in a letter by R. Hushiel b. Elhanan to R. Shmaryah of Egypt, then direct evidence exists for R. Hananel being born in Italy. This letter was published by Solomon Schechter, <a href="https://doi.org/10.2307/1450472">"Geniza Specimens. A Letter of Chushiel"<i> The Jewish Quarterly Review</i>, 1899:11, 643–650</a></fn></li>
