What is the meaning of the name Na ?

The baby name Na is a Female name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /na/ — "nah" (IPA: /na/, similar to 'spa').

Na is Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese in Origin.

Na is a compact cross-cultural given name with multiple roots. In Chinese it is most often written 娜, meaning "graceful, elegant," used either alone or as the second character in feminine names (e.g., Li Na). Korean Na (나) is chiefly a surname (羅/那), though as a given-name element its meaning depends on the hanja, commonly 娜 "graceful." Japanese naming employs the mora na with kanji such as 菜 "greens, herbs" or 奈 (linked to Nara), occasionally as a standalone. Vietnamese Na is a feminine name from the word for the custard apple.

Usage rose in mainland China in the late 20th century and remains popular in East and Southeast Asia, most often feminine. In Korea it thrives in compounds like Na‑eun and Na‑young, while the surname Na is unisex. Variants and related forms include Naa in Ghana (Ga/Dagbani honorific meaning "queen, chief") and kana spellings な/ナ in Japanese.
