Vanna


Vanna (pronounced in Italian: [ˈvanna] and in English: /ˈvænə/) is a given name that first appeared in recorded European history circa 1294. The Italian medieval feminine name originated in Tuscany, and is particular to Florence, Italy.

Though similar in pronunciation to the Italian name Giovanna, and conjectured to be derived from it, Vanna is neither a nickname nor a derivation.

The name Vanna first appears in print in La Vita Nuova, a thirteenth-century book of verse written by Dante Alighieri, an Italian Florentine poet. In one verse, Dante writes that (anthropomorphized) Love itself proclaims that Vanna is Primavera ("Springtime") and declares that Beatrice's name is "Love".

Vanna is also a Cambodian unisex name meaning "Gold". It originates from ancient Sanskrit. Cambodian names are chosen for various themes such as Nature and positive attributes.
