Meaning of Sanaa
Sanaa is an indirect Quranic name for girls that means “greatness”, “highness of status”. It shouldn’t be confused with the Quranic name Sana, both of which are derived from the same root. It is not directly mentioned in the Quran but its root is mentioned in Quran 24:43:
Do you not see that Allah drives clouds? Then He brings them together, then He makes them into a mass, and you see the rain emerge from within it. And He sends down from the sky, mountains [of clouds] within which is hail, and He strikes with it whom He wills and averts it from whom He wills. The flash of its lightening almost takes away the eyesight.
The difference between Sanaa and Sana is that Sanaa has a “hamza” letter at the end, which cannot be pronounced in English. For this reason when pronounced, both names sound the same and you are free which name you wish to mean by it.

Hello, I do really love the name Sena but I have realised that is a derivative form of Selena, which a greek goddess (Goddess of the moon), is it haram to give a baby girl this name? Thank you.

Having this name is weird. You’d hope people of this name achieve things in life, but all the Sanaas I know -including myself – are just very nice and don’t do much. It’s like Allah gave us dreams, just to shatter them and take them away….
