Yanna

Meaning of Yanna

Yanna arrives like a little gift at dawn, wrapping Latin warmth and ancient grace into a single syllable. Born from the Hebrew Johanna—“God is gracious”—it tiptoes through Greek and Latin before landing softly on the lips. In Russian she’s yah-NAH; in English she’s YAH-nuh. The name feels light and bright, like sunlight splashing over an orange grove or maracas ringing at a fiesta. Rare and radiant, Yanna has charmed just a handful of U.S. families each year. She carries promise, adventure, and the sweet joy of a life yet to be written.
