What is the meaning of the name Mayana ?

The baby name Mayana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced meɪˈɑːnə (may-AH-nah),mɑːˈjɑːnə (mah-YAH-nah).

Mayana is in Origin.

Mayana is a multicultural feminine name with several plausible roots. In Portuguese-speaking Brazil it functions as a modern blend of Maya and Ana - Ana tracing to Hebrew Hannah “grace,” while Maya carries diverse associations (Hebrew ma’ayan ‘spring’/mayim ‘water,’ Sanskrit “illusion,” and Greek/Roman Maia, a spring goddess). Another pathway treats Mayana as a feminized form of Hebrew Ma’ayan, yielding the evocative meaning “spring, fountain.”

The name has circulated in Brazil since the late 20th century and gained visibility through actresses such as Mayana Moura and Mayana Neiva. Usage remains rare in the English-speaking world but fits contemporary preferences for -ana endings. Variants and spellings include Maiana, Mayanna, Maayana, and Ma’ayana; short forms range from Maya and May to Yana and Ana. In the Philippines, Mayana is also the name of a colorful garden plant, lending the choice a nature-tinged appeal.
