Hosanna

In the New Testament, Hosanna was exclaimed by those around Jesus when he first entered Jerusalem, making this an exuberant and spiritual choice. A possible alternative for Susanna or Hannah, it was given to more than 100 girls in a recent year in the US. Associated with the hymn "Give Me Joy In My Heart", Hosanna would fit in with the likes of Halo, Chosen, Shepherd, Blessing, and Messiah.

International variations include the Italian Osanna, the Croatian and Romanian Ozana, and the French Osanne and Ozanne.

Pronounced hoh-ZAN-uh.

As of October 2026, Hosanna ranked #1480 in US births in 2025 SSA.
