History & Origin

Sanovia is a contemporary coinage. Its opening recalls San- names such as Sandra and Santana; its ending borrows the stately -ovia of European place names like Segovia and Moldova. There is no documented traditional meaning behind it, and the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'suh-NOH-vee-uh').

It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. Rare, ornate, and invented.

Did you know? Sanovia has the ring of an old Spanish city — Segovia, Cordova — but it is a fresh American invention, borrowing that grandeur without a settled history.
