Glenna
Meaning of Glenna
Glenna, pronounced GLEN-uh, derives from the Gaelic word glen (valley), its gentle tonal rise and fall evoking secluded dales and quiet refuges. Viewed through a Persian lens—where hidden gardens in mountain ravines inspire the verses of poets like Hafez—the name suggests a tranquil haven shielded from life’s bustle. Analytically, Glenna’s journey in the United States charts a classic ebb and flow: peaking around 1951 with 645 births (rank 304), then gradually descending to just seven in 2023 (rank 951), a decline as steady as a winding river tracing its valley floor. It may not top playground roll calls, but its subtlety is precisely what sets it apart, lending the name an understated elegance and a quiet resilience.
