History & Origin

Keianna is an elaborated respelling of Kiana, a modern name of debated origin — a Hawaiian form of Diana in some readings, a fashion-era coinage in others. It appeared from around 1979 and crested near 1999 at a few dozen girls a year.

The name reads as a smooth, of-its-era feminine coinage with a rising middle stress. A Keianna from the peak would be in her twenties now, and the spelling remains an uncommon variant of Kiana.

Did you know? Kiana and its many respellings, including Keianna, rose as fresh, flowing choices in the late twentieth century, some families linking it to Diana and others to the sleek-sounding Qiana fabric.
