Xanna, pronounced ZAN-uh (/ˈzænə/), is a distinctive female name that carries an air of exotic charm and simplicity. While its origins are not definitively pinned to one culture, Xanna is often considered a variant of the name Zanna, which itself can be a diminutive form of Susanna, derived from Hebrew meaning "lily" or "rose." This floral connection imbues the name with connotations of beauty and grace. Despite its appealing sound and rich associations, Xanna remains rare in the United States. In 2023, it was given to just 7 newborn girls, ranking it at 12,134th nationally. This rarity can make Xanna an excellent choice for parents seeking a unique yet meaningful name for their daughter.
