ArchivesRe: Orgin of name??
in reply to a message by Xana
Xana is the word for "again" in Greek and as far as I can tell, it really doesn't seem to be used as a name by Greeks. I found two other sites that I don't trust that say it is a form of Xanthe and Xanthippe. I couldn't find any Greeks when I was searching named Xana. However, I did find that it is a Portuguese short form of Alexandra, which was backed up by finding many Portuguese people with the name. I'll ask my Greek friend if it is used by Greek when I talk to her next.
