Mianna

Light and sweet yet elaborate at the same time, Mianna may appeal to those who can't decide between the likes of Mia, Anna, Elianna, and Gianna. And while it may look like an invented choice, it has more solidity than you might think!

As a Finnish choice, it's a contraction of classic compound name, Marianna, giving it the meaning "beloved grace", "bitter grace" or "drop of sea and grace", depending on how you interpret Maria. Alternatively, you could also see it as a form of Mariana, a Latin name relating to Mars, the god of war.

On the other hand, you might see it as a more contemporary choice, derived from either Myanna (likely a blend of the word "my" with classic Anna), or created as a mix of Mia and Anna (giving it either the same meaning as Marianna or Myanna, depending whether you see Mia as a form of Maria or a Spanish word name).

Pronounced as mee-ANN-uh, my-ANN-uh, or mee-AHN-uh, the name has been very quietly appearing in the US charts since the 1990s, but a more recent year saw it spike up the charts when it was chosen for 53 girls compared to just 20 the year prior.

Content creator Mianna Deberry is a notable bearer.

Pronounced mee-AH-nah.

As of October 2026, Mianna ranked #3093 for girls in US births in 2025 SSA.
