History & Origin

Xianna is a modern coinage marrying a bold X- styling to the -anna of Anna β€” from Hebrew Hannah, 'grace'. It also nods to the Galician Xiana. The X is a contemporary flourish, not a clue to any inherited root.

Old-fashioned grace dressed up with a thoroughly modern initial.

Did you know? In Galician, Xiana is a genuine form of Juliana, where the 'X' spells a 'sh'-like sound β€” though Xianna is usually softened to a 'z' in American mouths.
