Selana

Selana is a melodic feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variation of Selena, derived from the Greek 'selene' meaning 'moon.' Alternatively, it could combine elements of Selma ('divine protection') with Ana ('grace'). The name has a flowing, romantic quality with its soft consonants and balanced syllables. While never among the most popular names in English-speaking countries, Selana has seen occasional use throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Its lunar connections give it a mystical, celestial quality, while its resemblance to more familiar names like Selena or Alana makes it accessible. Selana offers a distinctive choice that sounds both exotic and familiar, appealing to parents seeking uniqueness without complexity.

Pronounced suh-LAH-nuh.
