Bohdanna is Ukrainian in Origin.
Bohdanna is the Ukrainian-influenced feminine form of a widespread Slavic theophoric name meaning “God-given.” It derives from Proto-Slavic elements bog (“god”) + dan(a) (“given”), paralleling Greek Theodora and Latin-derived Dorothea. The spelling with h reflects Ukrainian phonology (Boh-), while the double n is a modern Anglicized or diaspora variant; the standard form in Ukraine is Bohdana.
The name appears across Slavic lands since the Christianization of Eastern Europe, often chosen to mark a hoped-for or long-awaited child. Common variants include Bohdana (Ukrainian, Czech/Slovak), Bogdana (Polish, Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian), and diminutives Bohdanka/Bogdanka; Polish Bogna functions as a related short form. Nicknames include Dana and Danna, with Bohda or Bo occasionally used. The masculine counterparts are Bohdan/Bogdan, famously borne by Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytskyi, which helped keep the feminine in circulation.
