What is the meaning of the name Edanah ?

The baby name Edanah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced eh-DAH-nah,ee-DAY-nah.

Edanah is Hebrew in Origin.

Edanah is a rare modern feminine given name with dual heritage. In Irish Gaelic, it relates to Aedán (Aidan), from Aodh “fire,” yielding the meaning “little fire”; Edan/Edana are Anglicized forms, and Edanah adds the -ah feminine ending. In Hebrew, it aligns with Edna/Ednah (עדנה), “delight; rejuvenation,” giving Edanah a parallel sense of joy and renewal.

The element Edan surfaces in medieval Irish records as an English rendering of Aedán, borne by early saints and a Scottish king, which helped popularize the Aidan family of names. Edana appears sporadically in 19th–20th‑century usage; Edanah is seen mainly in contemporary registries, especially in English‑speaking countries seeking a distinctive twist on Aidan/Edna. Variants and related forms include Edana, Ednah, Edna, Edan; in the wider family: Aidan, Aiden, and Aodhán/Aedán. Meanings commonly given: “little fire” (Gaelic line) or “delight, rejuvenation” (Hebrew line).
