Zyana

Meaning of Zyana

Zyana is a feminine given name of probable Arabic origin, deriving from the triliteral root Z-Y-N, which in classical usage signifies beauty or adornment; analytically, it embodies a fusion of cross-cultural elements, wherein the distinctive initial “Z” imparts modernity while the familiar “-ana” suffix aligns with longstanding Anglo-American naming conventions such as Diana and Adriana. Since its first recorded appearance in United States Social Security Administration data in 1999—ranking 885th with six births—Zyana has experienced incremental shifts, peaking in 2014 at 106 occurrences (rank 857) before stabilizing at 51 newborns (rank 899) in 2024. Pronounced zy-AH-nuh (/zaɪˈænə/), the name’s measured phonetic clarity and moderate cadence appeal to parents seeking a balance between uniqueness and cultural resonance.
