History & Origin
Sahvanna is a variant spelling of Savannah, from the Spanish sabana, itself from a Taino word for a broad grassy plain. Savannah soared as an American girl's name from the nineteen-nineties onward, and Sahvanna is one of the rarer phonetic respellings that followed.
It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high point in the late two-thousands. A girl named Sahvanna then is about nineteen today.
