Lyanna
Meaning of Lyanna
Lyanna twirls off the lips with the lilt of a bolero, blending the floral grace of “lily” and the timeless “Anna” (grace) into one sun-kissed package of charm. Thought to be a modern twist on the Hebrew-rooted Eliana—“God has answered”—or a vine-like cousin to Liana, the name carries both spiritual sparkle and rainforest resilience. Pop-culture gave it dragon-fire momentum when the fierce Lyanna Mormont and the legendary Lyanna Stark strode through Game of Thrones, and the U.S. charts responded in kind, leaping from a shy handful of births in the ’80s to a spirited 500 babies in 2019 before settling into steady, glowing popularity today. Lyanna feels at once medieval and mañana, a name that can duel with a sword at dawn and still whisper “te quiero” by sunset. For parents seeking a melody that’s familiar yet fuego, petite yet powerful, Lyanna offers a passport stamped with courage, grace, and just a hint of fantasy sparkle.
