Savannah: meaning and origin
Savannah comes from the landscape. Behind the Name takes it from the English word for a large grassy plain, ultimately from the Taíno word sabana, and Wikipedia says it can also refer to the city of Savannah, Georgia. Behind the Name says it came into use as a given name in America in the 19th century and was revived in the 1980s by the movie Savannah Smiles (1982). Wikipedia says Social Security records show it in use since at least the late 1800s.
Nicknames and variants
Behind the Name lists Savanah, Savanna and Zavanna as variant spellings, and Wikipedia confirms Savanna as a common alternative. Wikipedia’s list of notable Savannahs includes a soccer player known as Savy, which makes a cute short form. Vannah is another easy option.
