Meaning of Yana
Yana (when pronounced Yaana: YArd + NA, transliteration: yānā يانا) is a Persian name for girls that according to the Persian reference Vazhehyab means “one who brings goodness, one who bestows kindness” or “benefactor, beneficent one.”, from Avestan, an ancient language of Persia. It’s describing someone who delivers good things to others and gives kindness, a benefactor or someone who does good deeds.1
While this name is not from the Quran, it is appropriate for Muslims due to having a good meaning.
Yana is also a feminine name, considered to be derived from the name of Prophet Yaḥyā in the Bible, as known in Slavic languages like Russian (Jan). In Greek, related to Yana is the name Yanna, which is also a feminine ultimately derived from the name of Prophet Yaḥyā.
Yana (when pronounced Yana: YArd + NUmber) is a Kurdish word that means “home”, “house”.2
