Our dictionary has the following

Halo = el hano.

another dictionary has

halo, aureola

As the "h" is silent in Spanish is our dictionary correcct?

That's interesting because hano is not in the D R A E nor in our dictionary here. They both have halo (yes, it's also a Spanish word) and aureola. And you're right, the H is silent in Spanish. It's either an unfortunate mistake or a rude joke.

I know, but if you try to look up hano it's not in the Spanish-to-English portion. - KevinB, May 17, 2011
