Hossana ( is Hebrew in Origin.

Hossana is a modern spelling variant of Hosanna, a liturgical word from Biblical Hebrew hôshi‘a-nnā’ meaning “save, we pray,” transmitted through Aramaic and Greek (ōsanna) into Latin and European languages. In Jewish worship it appears in the Sukkot hoshanot; in Christian tradition it is the Palm Sunday acclamation, where the sense shifts from urgent plea to jubilant praise and blessing.

As a given name, Hosanna/Hossana surfaces in post-Reformation English records - especially among Nonconformists - and later spreads through revivalist and global Christian communities, including East Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America; in Ethiopia/Eritrea, Hossana is also a familiar toponym. Usage today is typically feminine but remains unisex. Variants include Hosanna (standard), Hosana, Hosannah, Osanna (Italian/Latin liturgical), and Ozana (South Slavic). Possible short forms are Sanna or Anna. The name conveys themes of deliverance, heartfelt petition, and exalted praise.
