History & Origin
Khianna is a variant spelling of Kianna and Kiana, modern names read either as a Hawaiian form of Diana or as a blend of a Ki- sound with the popular -anna ending. As Kiana rose in late-century American naming, decorated spellings like this appeared. Khianna shows up in United States records from the mid-nineteen-nineties and reached its small high around 2009. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year, and its route is mixed.
A girl named Khianna from that peak would be a teenager or young adult now. The name reads as an ornamented late-century pick; the simpler Kiana and Kianna spellings prevailed, and Khianna stays rare.
