📖 About Glenna
Glenna is a feminine form of Glenn, derived from the Scottish Gaelic 'gleann', meaning valley. Rooted in the Celtic landscapes of Scotland and Ireland, the name evokes narrow mountain valleys and rugged natural beauty. It gained traction in North America during the 1930s–1950s among families of Celtic descent, and while less common today, it retains a quiet, timeless elegance.
