Sabanna is English, Spanish in Origin.
Sabanna is a modern variant of Savannah, ultimately derived from Spanish sabana "open grassland, savanna," a loan from Taino zabana. The English landscape term savanna/savannah entered European languages through Iberian exploration in the 16th century. As a given name, it gained currency via its evocative nature meaning and through the prominence of the city of Savannah, Georgia, which helped normalize it in English-speaking contexts.
Usage of the personal name rose sharply in the late 20th century; Sabanna appears as a rare contemporary respelling that mirrors the Spanish b while keeping the familiar sound (typically pronounced like Savannah). Related forms and variants include Savannah, Savanna, Savanah, Savana (Portuguese/Italian), and Sabana (Spanish). Short forms and nicknames include Savvy/Savy, Vanna, Anna, and Saba. The core meaning across variants is "wide, treeless grassland."
