Kianna
About Kianna
While Kianna and Kiana are credited with a range of origins and meanings online, it is an American invented name taken from Quiana, a polyester fabric that gained some following as a baby name in the 1970s when it was first invented.
Today, Kiana is by far the most popular form, ranking in the Top 1000 and trending upward again after a long downward slide, perhaps thanks to its resemblance to Keanu. By whatever spelling, the name has always had a pretty sound if a synthetic derivation.
As of October 2026, Kianna ranked #1507 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #598 in 1995.
Editor's take: The name Kianna is a girl's name.
