Since then, the trajectory of the name has been stable, reflecting a steady but modest usage. As a variant, Savannha shares the same geographical and natural roots as its more common counterpart.

Savannha is a modern respelling of Savannah, which derives from the Spanish word 'sabana', meaning a flat grassy plain, itself borrowed from the Taíno word 'zabana'. The name entered English usage as a place name, notably for the city in Georgia, and gained popularity as a given name in the late 20th century.
