About Sanna
Sanna, a Swedish name, means "true". This name derives from the Swedish word "sann", which also carries the same meaning. Sanna is often used as a short form of Susanna, which itself is derived from the Hebrew names "Alexander" and "Shoshanna".
The origin of Sanna can also be traced back to ancient Egyptian and Persian roots. The Middle Egyptian term "SŠN" and the Persian root "Sousan" both refer to the "lily" flower. Sanna's connection to the lily is further supported by its association with "Susa", an ancient city of Persia known for its abundance of lilies.
Another notable aspect of the name Sanna is its association with Inuit mythology. In Inuktitut, Sanna is a modern form of "Sedna", the goddess of the sea, sea animals, and the underworld. This connection adds a touch of mystique and cultural significance to the name's history and meaning.
