Meaning & origin
Ohanna is an exceptionally rare name in the United States, first appearing in Social Security records in 2004. Its peak popularity occurred in 2021, though it remains uncommon, with about 1 in 200,908 newborns receiving the name in 2025. The name has been on a downward trajectory since 2021, likely reflecting its niche appeal. Ohanna is a distinctly Armenian variant of the widespread biblical name Yochanan, and it has not been recorded in any U.S. state with enough frequency to identify top states. Despite its rarity, the name carries deep cultural and religious significance within Armenian communities.
Ohanna is an Armenian feminine form of Hovhannes, which derives from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning 'Yahweh is gracious.' The name is closely related to Anna and Johanna, sharing the same root. Historically used in Armenian communities, it remains a traditional choice.
