Thinking about the name
Shana
Irish origin
“A modern feminine name derived from Irish/Hebrew roots, likely a shortened form of Shannon or a variant of the Irish Siobhán (meaning 'God's gracious gift'). Shana has a bright, accessible quality that made it popular from the 1970s onward, balancing sophistication with approachability. The name feels both contemporary and timeless.”
