Anyone?

Those three you've mentioned have english origins. To be frank most Somali names are derived from a lot of different origins.

Are Mikaahiil, Jibraahiil and Abraahiim (The clan names)
are they Somali or are they Michael Gibrael and Abraham

They are probably Somalized versions Mikaaeel, Jibriil and Ibraahiim. There is no way Somalis would call themselves Michael or Abraham

Hanna is a beautiful name.
