I believe the Spanish word for "frog" is "rana". In Esperanto, the word "rana" means "frog-like". Dunno if Rhauna might be a Persian name.

Have you tried asking your mother what it means, or where she got the name from? After all, she was the one who named you -- wasn't she?

-- Nanaea

  • Rana (rann-ah) is a Persian name of Arabic origin meaning "elegant". Nice name, but I might be inclined for the next few months to tell folks it's Spanish for "frog"... nt - Daividh  Oct 30 2001, 9:28:34 PM
