Meaning & origin

Zannah is a modern name first recorded in the United States in 1999. It reached its peak year in 2019, but since then has been on a falling trajectory. Although it has never ranked in the top 1000, its relatively recent emergence and gentle decline reflect the pattern of many contemporary invented names. Zannah appears to be a stylish variation of Zanna or a feminine form of Zane, favored by parents seeking a name that feels both fresh and familiar. The name has not been associated with any top states, indicating its usage is scattered across the country.

Zannah appears to be a modern invented name, likely formed by adding the fashionable -ah suffix to the name Zanna, itself a short form of Susanna, or as a feminine variant of Zane.
