Savanah is English in Origin.

Savanah is a modern English given name, a streamlined variant of Savannah. The root is the English noun savannah/savanna for a treeless grassland, borrowed via Spanish sabana from Taino zabana. It evokes wide, open, sunlit plains; the core meaning is grassy or open plain.

As a personal name, Savannah rose in the late 20th century, particularly in the United States, boosted by the charm of the coastal city of Savannah, Georgia, and by broader nature-name trends. Savanah emerged as an alternative spelling at the same time, remaining less common but steady in use. Variants include Savannah (standard), Savanna, and Savana; related forms appear in Portuguese as Savana. Short forms and nicknames include Sav, Savi/Savvy, and Vanna or Vannah. Across spellings the sense and pronunciation are the same (suh-VAH-nuh), giving Savanah a warm, breezy, Southern-romantic feel grounded in landscape.
