About Thana
A multicultural choice with two rather different meanings, Thana is an Arabic name with the spiritual meaning of "praise". It may also appear as Thanaa, Sana, and Sena, the latter spellings reflecting its pronunciation in Urdu and Turkish.
Alternatively, Thana comes from the name of the Greek god Thanatos, giving it the meaning "death". That could make it feel rather ominous, but in mythology, the god was actually a jolly winged creature living in the underworld. It could also be considered a short form of Athanasia, meaning "immortal".
In Arabic, the name would be pronounced tha-NA, while from its Greek roots, it would be THAN-a.
Pronounced THAH-nuh.
As of October 2026, Thana ranked #19830 in US births in 2006 SSA, peaked at #4244 in 1918.
