📖 About Savanna
Savanna is a feminine given name derived from the Spanish word sabana — a flat, treeless plain — itself borrowed from the Taíno word zabana. It entered English both as a geographic term and a personal name, closely associated with the landscapes of sub-Saharan Africa and the American South. Popular from the 1980s onward, it evokes warmth, open skies, and a free-spirited nature.
