Meaning & origin
Juwana is a rare American name that first appeared in 1959, likely a creative variation of Juana or Juanita. Its peak year was 1975, but it never ranked among the top 1000 names nationally. The name remained in stable but extremely low usage through the 1970s, which was its strongest decade. With no top-state concentration, Juwana represents the kind of invented or respelled name that was fashionable in mid-century America.
Juwana first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1959, likely a phonetic respelling of the Spanish name Juana or a diminutive Juanita. It may also be influenced by the Hawaiian name 'Juwana' or simply a modern invented name. Its usage peaked in the 1970s and has since declined, fitting the trend of creative 'J' names popular in mid-20th-century America.
