Haldana is a modern feminine given name formed on Haldane, a Scots surname and male given name ultimately from Old Norse Halfdanr, “half Dane.” In medieval Scandinavia, Halfdan/Haldan - borne by figures like Halfdan the Black - combined elements for “half” and “Dane,” signaling Danish lineage.

Related forms include Haldane (used as a given name as well as a surname), Haldan and Halfdan (masculine), with occasional elaborations such as Haldina or Halda; nicknames may include Dana or Danna. The core sense remains tied to Danish ancestry and Norse heritage, giving Haldana a crisp, historically anchored profile.
