Just SHAN-a, to rhyme with Hannah.

Well my sisters name is Shana and we pron it Shay-na.

She has had Sharna and Shan-nah aswell though.

I've heard both shan-uh and shay-na. According to BtN Shana is an anglicization of Siani, a pet form of Sian prn shan so my guess is shan-uh would be more correct than shay-nuh.

The Shana I know says Shane - ah like the male name Shane with an AH on the end :)

Thats my sisters name and we proununce it Shay-nuh. I have also seen the name Shanna but unlike my sisters name that one is pronunced with the long a sound like ah-na or an-na.

My cousin and my entire family go by the one that rhymes with the American pronounciation of Hannah and Anna (shaa-na), but i have known people of either middle eastern or Asian decent whose names rhyme with the Scandanavian pronounciation of Anna or Ana (shah-na). I have known one woman who pronounced it like it was spelled Shawna but i think that was an adult preference and not what her parents had in mind. Just a guess though.

So i guess it would depend if you want to draw the etymology back to Sian, or to whatever other eastern source my friends' parents had in mind. (E.g. i see that Hindi contains the word shana = hemp).
