Thinking about the name
Ruthanna
Hebrew origin
“A compound of Ruth (from Hebrew Rut, meaning 'compassionate friend') and Anna (meaning 'grace'). Ruthanna blends two classic biblical names into a lyrical, vintage-feeling whole that was most popular in the early-to-mid 20th century. The name evokes warmth, gentleness, and a touch of old-fashioned Southern charm.”
