Savana
About Savana
Savana is a feminine name that represents a variation of Savannah, which refers to the vast grassy plains found in tropical and subtropical regions. The name has English origins but draws inspiration from the Spanish word 'sabana' (sheet) and ultimately from the Taino word 'zabana' (grassland). Without the final 'h', Savana has a slightly more streamlined and modern feel while maintaining the natural imagery of wide-open spaces and wild beauty. The name suggests qualities of freedom, expansiveness, and natural elegance. While less common than the Savannah spelling, Savana has gained modest popularity since the 1990s as parents seek names with natural connotations but with unique spellings.
Pronounced suh-VAN-uh.
As of October 2026, Savana ranked #5879 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #732 in 2000.
