Ceanna is Gaelic, Irish in Origin.

Ceanna is a modern feminine given name whose form suggests several intertwined influences rather than a single, attested origin. It likely arose as a contemporary respelling of Keanna/Kiana or Cianna/Cienna, with visual echo of Sienna. Irish and Scottish Gaelic also color its feel: the Gaelic root ceann (“head, chief; leader”) and the Irish name Cian (with feminine Ciana) have shaped related surnames and given names, though Ceanna itself is not a traditional Gaelic forename. Usage appears sporadically in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century onward, fitting the trend for sleek, vowel-rich, two-syllable names.

Meaning varies by derivation: from Gaelic ceann it carries a “leader” or “chief” sense; via Cian/Ciana it can be read “ancient, enduring”; through Kiana (a form of Diana) it gains “divine” connotations; and by association with Sienna it evokes the Tuscan city and the warm earth pigment. Variants include Keanna, Kiana, Cianna, Cienna, Ciana, Siana, and Sienna.
