As of 2025, it ranks 14,942, with an estimated 1 in every 321,453 newborn girls receiving the name.

Sahaana is a feminine name of Sanskrit origin, derived from the word 'sahana' meaning 'patience' or 'forbearance.' It is also associated with beauty and delight in some interpretations. The name is common in South India, particularly among Tamil-speaking communities, and has gained popularity in other parts of the world through the Indian diaspora.
