Zenna Origin and Meaning

The name Zenna is a girl's name of French, Ukranian origin.

Zenna is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be derived from the Greek name Xenia, meaning "hospitable" or "welcoming to strangers," or it could be a variation of Zena, which comes from the Greek word "zenos" meaning "of Zeus." Some also connect it to the Arabic name Zaina, meaning "beautiful" or "good." Zenna has a distinctly ethereal quality with its uncommon 'Z' beginning and flowing sound. Though never widely popular, the name saw modest usage in the early 20th century and has experienced small revivals among parents seeking distinctive yet melodic names. Its rarity gives it an exotic appeal while still being relatively straightforward to pronounce and spell.
