Veena

Meaning of Veena

Veena traces its roots to ancient Sanskrit, in which vīṇā names the celestial lute of Saraswati, goddess of music and learning; in Indian English it’s voiced as VEE-nuh (/ˈviːnə/). Since making its U.S. debut on the newborn charts in the early 1950s, Veena has maintained a gentle presence—never more than a few dozen little bearers in any given year, including 17 in 2024 that earned it the rank of 933—yet it never hits a sour note, and its melody remains undiminished. Like a flamenco guitarist serenading a moonlit plaza, this name carries a Latin-infused warmth, its soft syllables strummed with the promise of art, wisdom, and vibrancy. With every pronunciation, Veena invites a bridge between ancient heritage and modern flourish, ensuring its bearer will always find her life in perfect harmony.
