Meaning of Sana

Sana is a little three-letter sparkler with a passport full of stamps: in Arabic it glows with the meaning “radiance” or “brilliance,” while in Japanese it can evoke everything from morning “greens” to the airy image of an apple blossom—either way, light and freshness are baked right in. She’s been quietly twinkling on U.S. charts since the 1940s, hovering in the 700s like a shy star who prefers a clear night sky to the Hollywood spotlight, which means your Sana will share her name with just enough classmates to feel special but not lost in a sea of Sophias. Pop-culture fans might think of Sana from the K-pop group TWICE, or the heroine of a manga series, lending the name a dash of global cool. At heart, though, Sana is simply a warm beam of praise—easy to say, hard to forget, and perfectly sized for a life lived out loud.
