What is the meaning of the name Osana ?

The baby name Osana is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced oh-SAH-nah (IPA: /oʊˈsɑːnə/). Italian variant: /oˈsanna/ (oh-SAHN-nah).

Osana is Hebrew in Origin.

Osana is a Romance and South Slavic form of Hosanna, ultimately from Hebrew hoshia na, meaning "save, we pray." The term moved through Greek and Latin into Christian liturgy, where the initial h often fell away, yielding Osanna/Osana in Italian and Spanish. As a given name it carries the sense of a joyful plea and acclamation of praise, associated with Palm Sunday and deliverance.

Medieval and Renaissance records attest to its use: Blessed Osanna (Osana) of Mantua (15th century) and the Dalmatian mystic Ozana/Osana of Kotor (16th century) helped popularize it in Catholic Adriatic communities. Variants include Hosanna, Osanna, and Ozana; related diminutives and nicknames are Sana, Sanna, Osa, and Annie. Though uncommon today, Osana fits current tastes for lyrical, vowel-rich names with spiritual resonance and travels well across languages.
