Miyanna is English in Origin.

Miyanna is a modern, multicultural feminine name that emerged in the United States in the late twentieth century. It most likely blends Miya/Mia, either a diminutive of Maria (linked to Hebrew Miryam and interpreted as "beloved" or "mine" in Romance languages) or the Japanese word miya meaning "shrine or palace," with Anna/Yana, from Hebrew Hannah, "grace, favor." Put together, parents often read Miyanna as conveying "beloved grace" or "my grace," while retaining a sleek, contemporary sound.

Usage has been modest but steady in recent decades, especially within African-American naming styles that favor lyrical -yanna endings and inventive combinations. The name’s flexibility invites multiple spellings, including Mianna, Myanna, Miyana, Miyana, and Mi’Yanna, with related short forms like Mia, Mya, and Yana. This cross-cultural layering gives Miyanna both modern freshness and familiar roots without tying it to a single linguistic tradition.
