Ozanna is Hebrew in Origin.

Ozanna is a feminine given name with liturgical roots, most closely related to Osanna/Hosanna, the exclamation from Hebrew hôšî‘â-nnā (“save, we pray”). The word passed through Greek and Latin into medieval European vernaculars, where Osanna/Osana became personal names in devotional contexts, especially among Catholics mindful of Palm Sunday’s joyful cry. In Italian records the form Osanna is common; in the Adriatic region, Ozana/Ozanna appears, reflecting local phonology.

Usage clusters around late medieval and Renaissance piety. Notable bearers include Blessed Osanna of Mantua (15th–16th century Italian mystic) and Saint Ozana (Ozanna) of Kotor in Montenegro. Variants and cognates comprise Hosanna (English), Osanna (Italian/Latin), Ozana or Osana (South Slavic/Romanian), with diminutives Sanna, Zanna, Osa, and Ana. While rare in contemporary English-speaking countries, Ozanna offers a lyrical alternative that conveys a plea for deliverance and a note of triumphal praise.
