I plan to name my daughter Yannah.
It is Arabic and means Garden, Paradise or Heaven. It is not an uncommon name for Muslims.

Hey I think your name is cool.
Your name isn't who you are your name is just what you are called. Well I hope I was a help to you.

Yanna is a female form of the Greek Yannis, which is derived from the Greek Ioannis, which, in turn, is derived from the Hebrew Jochanan - God's grace. Jochanan is the root of John and its cognates in various languages.
Yannah, I am guessing, is Yanna with an "h" in the end.
