History & Origin

Thanna is a brief, spare girl's name whose route is uncertain. It could echo the Arabic Thana, 'praise' or 'gratitude,' or be a short form drawn from -anna names such as Johanna and Susanna. Its early, quiet appearance points to a simple, self-standing choice rather than a lasting tradition.

It surfaced only in the late nineteen-thirties and early forties, given to about twenty girls a year, then vanished. A girl named Thanna then would be very elderly today.

Did you know? Thanna is an unusually early and tidy little name; its one-of-a-kind look may come from the Arabic Thana, 'praise,' or simply from trimming a longer name like Susanna.
