Megana

Meaning of Megana

The name Megana drifts into the imagination like dawn mist over Fuji’s slopes, its three soft syllables—meh-GAH-nuh—whispering an origin in ancient Sanskrit, “Meghana,” or cloud. In its cool rarity—fewer than a dozen newborns in the United States each year from the mid-1990s through the early 2000s—it bears the quiet dignity of a secret garden, glimpsed only by those who pause long enough to notice pearlescent dew clinging to bamboo leaves. Evoking yūgen, that profound sense of beauty beyond words, Megana conjures the hush after a summer rain in Kyoto, where silvery vapors weave through lanternlit paths and each breath becomes an ode to transience. It is a name both airy and steadfast, a lyrical promise of serene resilience carried on the wind’s gentle sigh.
