History & Origin
Kajuana is a coined name built from the Ka- prefix and Juana, the Spanish feminine of Juan. Behind Juana stands John, from the Hebrew Yohanan, 'God is gracious,' so Kajuana inherits that meaning while wearing the inventive prefix style of 1970s American naming.
Kajuana was never common, given to only about fourteen girls a year at its mid-1970s peak and to roughly a hundred girls in all. A woman named Kajuana then is in her late forties today, part of an inventive Ka- naming generation.
