Delanna is English in Origin.

Delanna is a modern English feminine name, generally viewed as an elaboration formed by the prefix De- with Lanna/Lana or Alanna. Lana has two chief sources: a Slavic short form of Svetlana (“light; world”) and a Hawaiian word meaning “afloat, calm.” Alanna relates to the Celtic name Alan and is used in Irish as an affectionate a leanbh (“O child”), giving Delanna senses such as “bright,” “serene,” or “beloved child.”

In use mainly in North America since the mid–late 20th century, Delanna fits the era’s taste for De- prefixed blends and surname-like styles. It has never been widespread, appearing sporadically in state and SSA data. Variants include Delana (one n), Delaina/Delayna, and the capitalized DeLanna; near-relations are Delaney, Deanna, Alanna, and Lana. Short forms and nicknames include Della, Del, Lanna, and Lana.
