What is the meaning of the name Eitana ?

The baby name Eitana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /eɪˈtɑːnə/ (ay-TAH-nah).

Eitana is Hebrew in Origin.

Eitana is the modern Hebrew feminine form of Eitan/Ethan, from the Biblical Hebrew adjective eitan (איתן), meaning firm, strong, steadfast, or enduring - also used for a “perennial” stream in scripture. The name connects to the wise figure Ethan the Ezrahite named in Psalm 89, and its feminine adaptation reflects a contemporary Israeli habit of recasting traditional biblical names for girls.

Variants include Eytana and Etana for the feminine; related masculine forms are Eitan, Eytan, Etan, and the widespread English Ethan. Outside Israel the name remains uncommon but increasingly recognizable thanks to Ethan’s global rise; within Hebrew-speaking communities it has seen steady late‑20th‑ and 21st‑century uptake. Pronunciation is typically ay-TAH-nah. Not to be confused with Spanish Aitana (a toponym) or the ancient Mesopotamian hero Etana, Eitana retains a distinctly Hebrew identity centered on strength and resilience.
