Ananias is a figure mentioned in the New Testament of the Bible, particularly in the Book of Acts. He was a Christian in Damascus who played a significant role in the conversion of Saul of Tarsus (later known as the Apostle Paul). Following Saul's dramatic encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, Ananias was instructed by God to visit Saul, restore his sight, and baptize him. Ananias is also associated with the story of Ananias and Sapphira, who were struck dead for lying about their contributions to the early Christian community.
I would say that they are indeed different people. Ananias and Sapphira are mentioned in Acts chapter 5. The other Ananias is mentioned in Acts chapter 9 which I would think is at a later time.Although, When the Lord told Ananias to go to Saul, Ananias questioned the Lord (Acts 9:11-15) which is similarto the behavior exhibited by the Ananias who was married to Saphira and lied "...not unto men, but unto God." Acts 5:4
God then sent a Christian named Ananias to give Saul back his sight, to baptize him, and tell him what the Lord expected of him
