Savannah

The feminine name Savannah is a beautiful choice for a little one on a journey into the wide-open world! Though this moniker stems directly from an English word, that word finds its roots in Taino, a Native American language. In Taino, the word zabana describes a large grassy plain, and now treeless grasslands all over the globe are called "savannas." Savannah's -h ending might set it apart in spelling, but it's still a moniker that evokes a strong sense of place. From the city of Savannah, Georgia, to the Savannah River that runs through it, Savannah may really resonate if you'll be welcoming the Peach State's newest resident! Some members of The Bump community believe that Savannah looks its best in its fullest form, including 526SadieSadie, who says, "I wouldn't shorten Savannah, it's pretty just as it is." Perhaps you'll disagree, and experiment with nicknames like Sav, Savvy, and Vannie.
