"KAnha," like "KanhAI,KAnharo,Kanhar," and "KAnho," simply means "KRSNa," literally, as in KRSNa = black. It is Hindi (through Prakrit, from Sanskrit "KRSNa/r") for Lord KRSNa's name. It's also common as the diminutive "KAnhaiyA"; the city of Kanpur is named after Him. Most dialects of Hindi use this name. "KAna"/"KAnAI" are in Bengali. I hope this helps.
