There are many ways to
spell Hanukkah because there is no direct English translation of
the guttural h sound at the beginning of the word in the Hebrew
language. We used the 2 more common spellings of Chanukah and
Hanukkah, but in our researching to see which was accurate (and
finding out that none really were) we found that there are many
variations including Chanuka, Hanuka, Hanika, Chanukkah, Channukah, Hanaka, Khanukkah, Hannukah, Haneka, Hanukah
and Hanukka.
The Hebrew word Hanukkah means
"dedication"
referring to the rededication of the Jerusalem temple in 164 B.C.
According
to Rabbi Mark S. Diamond:
The Hebrew word for the festival of lights: Hanukkah/Chanukah. It consists of five Hebrew characters opening with the consonant het (chet). This letter is not the equivalent of the English letter "h" (as in house). Nor is it the equivalent of the combination "ch" (as in child). It's a Hebrew guttural sound that has no precise equivalent in English.
In some transliterations, this sound is rendered by the consonant "h" with a dot or line underneath the letter. Popular usage favors "h" or "ch." This helps us to understand the variant spellings of the festival of lights and so many other Hebrew words.
 Here
is a cute animated video in the manner of Sesame Street about
spelling Hanukkah.
