It's possible they are related to the Old Canaanites, but this is just a theory.

Answer:According to our tradition (Genesis ch.10), there are three major branches of Mankind. Since the Canaanites and the Hebrews are from two separate branches (Hamitic and Semitic, respectively), they are as unrelated as the French and the Chinese.

The Hebrews are traced, from Shem the son of Noah, through the line of heritage in Genesis ch.11, to Abraham and his descendants. The name Hebrew is from Eber, an ancestor of Abraham.
