What is the meaning of the name Osanna ?

The baby name Osanna is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /oˈzanːa/ (Italian: oh-ZAHN-nah),/oʊˈzænə/ (English: oh-ZAN-uh).

Osanna is Hebrew in Origin.

Osanna is the medieval Latin and Italian feminine form of the liturgical exclamation Hosanna, ultimately from Hebrew hoshia na, meaning "save, we pray" or "deliver us, please." In Jewish and early Christian worship it functioned first as a plea, later as a shout of praise; the Latin rite preserves the spelling Osanna, which helped establish it as a given name in Romance-speaking lands.

Used across medieval Europe as a devotional name, Osanna appears in Anglo-Norman and English records (often as Osanne) and became well known in northern Italy through the Dominican mystics Blessed Osanna Andreasi of Mantua (1449–1505) and Blessed Osanna of Cattaro/Kotor (1493–1565), venerated in South Slavic tradition as Ozana Kotorska. Although uncommon today, it sees occasional revival in Catholic and Italian communities, sometimes linked to Palm Sunday. Variants and related forms include Hosanna (English), Osanne (French), Osana/Ozana (South Slavic), and the nickname Sanna.
