ArchivesGiven name Zane
Hi,
I'd like some background from anyone about this given name. I do NOT agree that it comes from a Danish surname because it has been in my Greek family history for ages and it was a Venitian surname going back at least to the 14th Century.
Any thoughts?

no info here...
But Hi!
Zane is a family name here. The youngest Zane I know is my 6 year old cousin. The others stretch back into history, but American and English history for us.

Now this may be something for our Albanian friends:
ZANA is the name of a number of Albanian goddesses or rather fays or muses taking care of heroes. They sing at night by the wells, they dance and play and pick flowers. (Knaurs Lexikon der Mythologie, 2002).
Seibicke, HDV says: Pre-Roman goddess from the Balkan, later identified with Diana.
But maybe this is an unauthorized identification of ZANA and ZANE …

Just for your information
You're new here, so I thought I'd warn you that our "Albanian friend" is a known troll whose used multiple names (against site rules) and impersonated members of the board (including me). He also gives outrageously inaccurate etymologies, with nearly every name in the entire world apparently coming from Albanian or "Albanish" (in his early days).
Search for the names Constantin, Kassandri, or BibleRiot in the Archives. Those archived posts will illustrate this guy pretty well, I think.
