Kana - Name Meaning and Popularity -

Meaning of Kana

Kana arrives like the gentle hush of cherry blossoms at dawn, a name woven from Japanese roots yet carried on a breeze that dances through Latin plazas. Pronounced KAH-nah, it can be inscribed with kanji that whisper of golden harmony, fragrant blooms or radiant summer—each character lending its own shimmer to her story. Though modest in American nurseries (just 19 little Kanas in 2024, nestled around rank 931), this name’s rarity is its secret sparkle, a softly glowing ember in a sky full of stars. Families who choose Kana often imagine a daughter whose laughter drifts like music over sunlit cobblestones, a name both delicate and enduring, as timeless as parchment and as warm as a shared sunset.
