Kiauna is a modern American given name, likely a creative blend of fashionable late–20th‑century sounds. It appears influenced by Kiana (Hawaiian form of Diana), Shauna (Irish feminine of Sean), and the African‑American favorite Quiana/Quianna. The -auna / -onna ending echoes Shauna and Keonna, while the Kia‑ opening mirrors Kiana and Kia. Related spellings include Kiaunna, Kiaunah, Keauna; and cognate or stylistic relatives include Kiana/Kianna, Kiona, Keona/Keyona, Keonna, Quiana/Quianna. Nicknames: Kia, Kiki, Nia.

In use in the United States since the 1980s, Kiauna remains uncommon and seldom appears on national popularity charts, but it fits the melodic, vowel‑rich naming trend. As a modern coinage, it carries no single fixed meaning; however, associations from its likely roots suggest “divine, heavenly” (through Kiana, linked to Diana) or “God is gracious” (through Shauna/Keona, related to John). Parents often choose it for its fresh look, soft cadence, and cultural versatility.
