Thinking about the name
Savanna
English origin
“Derived from the Timucua Native American word for 'land of the palm trees,' Savanna evokes vast African grasslands and conjures images of natural beauty and untamed wilderness. The name surged in popularity during the 1980s-90s as part of the nature-naming movement, offering sophistication with an earthy, approachable character. It remains emblematic of that era's embrace of geographical and botanical inspiration.”
