Re: Zana
Have you asked your parents where they found the name? That's the first information to have to try to track down a name's origin. Zanna has been used as a short form of Suzanna or Susanna. Given your pronunciation of Zana, it seems most likely to me that your name is simply a respelling of Zanna, unless you know more about how your parents came to choose it.

My Father said he knew a lady named Zana but when she wrote her name it was always with 2 short a`s and an accent on the end. He has no idea where it came from. I`m from Tennessee if that helps.
