Comments (Meaning / History Only)

Along with meaning "treeless plain" (as the spelling Savanna literally means), the name Savannah can be translated to mean 'gracious' or 'golden' from the prefix of -anna.
Perhaps consider that Native Americans may not appreciate basic suburban moms appropriating this name.
Someone mentioned that Savannah is a Taino (Native American) name. Tainos aren't from North America, the Tainos were from the Caribbean: Dominican Republic, Cuba, Puerto Rico and what we now know as the Virgin Islands, as well as small islands close to Colombia and Venezuela.
