History & Origin

Keriana is a modern American compound, joining Keri (from the Irish Ciara, 'dark-haired,' or a form of Kerry) to Ana, from the Hebrew for 'grace.' Building longer, melodic names by adding -ana to a short form was a popular route to fresh names in the two-thousands, and Keriana is one of its rarer results.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 2009, and remains rare. A girl named Keriana then is a teenager today.

Did you know? Keriana caps the short, breezy Keri with the graceful -ana of Ana, a pairing that gave the two-thousands many soft, four-beat girls' names.
