History & Origin

Qianna is a coined American name belonging to the Kiana and Quiana group rather than to any traditional language. The Quiana form followed a DuPont fabric of the same name, and Qianna simply gives it a fresh Q- opening.

Qianna was always rare, given to only about twenty girls a year around its peak in 1979 and slipping away by the two-thousands. A girl named Qianna then would be in her late forties today.

Did you know? Quiana, the name this echoes, was first a soft silky synthetic fabric introduced by DuPont in the nineteen-seventies and then borrowed as a given name.
