Meaning:Reed; Wolf cub
While the name Canna represents a tropical plant for some and an island for others, it's also a beautiful feminine moniker. The canna plant thrives in the world's warmest and sunniest climates, with its lush foliage and large, eye-catching petals. Its name stems from the Greek word kanna, meaning "reed," a lovely endearment for the little one you'll teach to stand tall. The Isle of Canna is part of an archipelago of islands situated in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides. It is home to a huge array of wildlife, including 20,000 seabirds! Though Canna's Scottish definition is unknown, it could be related to the Gaelic title Canaigh, meaning "wolf cub." Even if they need a little encouragement at first, your tiny tot will find the confidence to soar.
