History & Origin

Cyana is a modern American name with two honest readings. One draws on cyan, the blue color, from the Greek kyanos; the other treats it as a spelling of Ciana, a short form of Luciana and kin. Either way it belongs to the recent taste for bright, invented-feeling girls' names, and it stayed scarce.

The spelling appears from the mid-nineteen-nineties and reaches its slim high around 2010 before easing off. A girl named Cyana then is a teenager today.

Did you know? Cyana carries a hint of color in its very letters, echoing cyan, the blue-green shade named from the Greek word kyanos.
