How to Pronounce Vannah
Pronounced VAN-uh /ˈvæn.ə/Medium
Meaning: Vannah is a short form drawn from Savannah or Vanna, keeping the warm end of the longer name. Savannah itself comes through Spanish from a word for an open, grassy plain, so Vannah carries that same easy, outdoors feel in a trimmer package.Low

History & Origin
Vannah is a clipped, stand-alone form of Savannah, and occasionally of Vanna, that parents have used as Savannah itself climbed in favor. Through Savannah it traces to a Spanish word for a broad grassland, giving it a sunny, open-country feel. As its own entry Vannah is recent and rare, a friendly nickname made into a birth name in the modern taste for short, sweet names.
Vannah has stayed uncommon, given to only about twenty girls a year even at its high around 2017, and it remains a rarity beside its parent Savannah. A girl named Vannah is very likely still a child today.
