US Popularity Rank: 28297

Origin: Uncertain

Meaning: Star of the sea; Beloved; Grace; God is gracious

Jaana is a girl’s name that’s common in Estonia and Finland. While it’s unclear whether it’s a short form of Marianne or Johanna, in either case, it takes on the religiously loaded meanings, “star of the sea,” “beloved, “grace,” and “God is gracious,” for itself. Suffused with divinity, this name will always give baby a confidence to fall back on. At best, it can surely honor two important people in your life!
