Sevanna is a feminine name for the little one you'll teach to look for wild adventure in their play, their learning, and every direction they run in. A respelling of Savanna with an -e instead of an -a, Sevanna is a unique twist on a long-popular name. Its meaning comes directly from "savanna," an English word that describes the expansive "grassy plains" found in countries with tropical climates. The word "savanna" ultimately derives from zabana, a Taino phrase that refers to the same kind of landscape. Africa, South America, India, and Australia are just a few examples of countries where you might see a savanna, usually inhabited by a lot of wild animals! As sweet Sevanna grows, their name will encourage them to embrace the freedom and endless opportunities that lie before them.
