Meana is a rare feminine given name most often treated as an elaboration of Mena or Meena. In South Asian contexts it aligns with Sanskrit Meena, “fish,” a symbol linked to Pisces and the goddess Meenakshi; this route gives Meana an aquatic, protective resonance. In Romance languages, Meana appears beside Mena, a pet form of Filomena (from Greek phil- “love” + menos “strength”), so the name can also carry a sense of “lover of strength.” It also exists as a toponymic surname in Spain and northern Italy, which has occasionally fed back into given‑name use.

Documented sporadically in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Meana remains uncommon and modern-sounding. Related forms and variants include Meena, Mena, Mina, Miena, and Filomena; diminutives such as Mea or Mena are typical. Depending on the chosen lineage, Meana’s meanings range from “fish” to “lover of strength,” offering a cross‑cultural choice.
