Abbana as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Abbana

What is the meaning of the name Abbana ?

The baby name Abbana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced AB-bah-nah (approx. /ˈæbə.nə/).

Abbana is Arabic in Origin.

Abbana is a rare Semitic name tied to Abana/Amana, the principal river of Damascus in 2 Kings 5:12, identified with today’s Barada. The doubled b reflects certain Syriac or Latin transliterations. Etymologically it is linked either to a Hebrew root for “stone” (hence “stony”) or to the Semitic root ’aman, “firm, constant,” which underlies the variant Amana. By association it also evokes the life‑giving qualities of a clear river.

As a given name it saw little use until recent decades, when parents revived uncommon biblical toponyms; it appears for all genders in contemporary records. Noted variants include Abana, Abanah, and Amana; related spellings such as Amanah occur in Arabic contexts. Overall meanings offered are “stony,” “steadfast/constant,” or “the river of Damascus.”
