History
Etymology
From Slavic Vanna, from Ivana (Ѝвана) and Ivanna (Ива́нна), ultimately from Koine Greek Ἰωάννα (Iōánna), from Hebrew יוֹחָנָה (Yôḥānāh, literally “God is gracious”), the feminized form of יְהוֹחָנָן (Yəhōḥānān) which produced John and its many doublets. Doublet of Ivanka, Jan, Janelle, Janet, Janey, Janine, Jeanette, Jeanie, Jeannette, Jeannine, Jen, Jenna, Jenny, Jessie, Jo, Jody, Juanita, Shanae, and Sinead.
From Italian Vanna.
Made up to sound like a Greek letter, probably beginning with "v" to be similar to vega.
