Manna
Meaning of Manna
The name Manna, pronounced MAN-uh (/ˈmæn.ə/), is a unique and meaningful choice for a baby girl. Its origins can be traced back to the Hebrew word "mān," which refers to the miraculous food that sustained the Israelites during their 40-year journey in the desert, as described in the Bible. This association with divine nourishment and sustenance gives the name a rich spiritual significance. The name Manna is relatively rare in the United States, with its usage fluctuating over the years but generally maintaining a low occurrence rate. For example, in 2023, it was given to just 5 newborn girls, ranking at 15,121. Despite its rarity, Manna carries a timeless quality and an air of uniqueness that many parents find appealing. An alternative spelling is Mannah, which retains the same beautiful meaning and pronunciation.
