Sanna

Sanna is a girl's name of enchanting, lyrical quality. Though it may seem short and sweet on paper, Sanna's charm is undeniable. It is best known as a diminutive of Susanna, meaning "lily" or "rose," derived from the Hebrew shoshan and the Egyptian sšn for "lotus." In Swedish, Sanna also comes from sann, meaning "true," adding a Scandinavian touch to this lovely name. Its diversity doesn't stop there—Sanna is also an Inuktitut form of Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the sea, sea animals, and the underworld. While Sedna's meaning remains unknown, her legend tells of a beautiful woman thrown into the ocean by her father, who becomes the mother of all sea-dwelling animals. Perhaps your little Sanna will have an affinity for water animals and flowers, spending hours watching fish swim or carefully arranging garden blossoms into colorful bouquets.
