Khianna is Italian, Persian in Origin.
Khianna is a modern English given name, a creative respelling of Kianna/Kiana. Its core derives from Hawaiian Kiana, the local form of Diana, lending meanings such as “divine” or “heavenly.” The name is also cross-associated with Persian Kiana (from Kian, “royal realm,” interpreted as “royal” or “of nature/essence”) and with the Irish-rooted Kian (“ancient, enduring”), which helped popularize feminine forms in English. The Kh- opening is a stylistic twist seen in contemporary American naming, not a separate linguistic origin.
As a distinct spelling, Khianna appears in U.S. records from the 1990s onward, part of the wave of -iana names and creative variants that followed Quiana/Quianna of the 1970s. Common variants include Kiana, Kianna, Kyanna, Keanna, Quianna/Quiana, and Khyanna; short forms include Kia, Kiki, and Ana. Depending on the chosen lineage, conveyed meanings range from “divine/heavenly” to “royal” or “enduring.”
