Ceanna
Meaning of Ceanna
Ceanna, pronounced see-AN-uh (/siːˈænə/), is a feminine given name whose provenance bridges Gaelic and classical lineages. Commonly understood as an elaboration of the Old Irish element Cian, which conveys the notion of “ancient” or “enduring,” it also resonates with the Latin-Hebrew root of Anna, signifying “grace.” Within Anglo-American naming conventions, Ceanna embodies a synthesis of linguistic heritage and contemporary creativity, its initial consonant lending a precise, commanding quality that appeals to those in search of both historical depth and modern distinction. Though it does not appear in early 20th-century registers, it first emerged in the United States Social Security archives in 1978 and has since maintained a quietly consistent profile: in 2024, nine newborn girls were given the name, placing it near the 940th rank. This measured frequency highlights its rarity and the discerning preference of families favoring a name that unites scholarly resonance with subdued elegance.
