Meaning & History
From Japanese 刹那 (setsuna) meaning "a moment, an instant". It can also be given as a combination of 刹 (setsu) meaning "temple" or 雪 (setsu) meaning "snow" combined with Japanese 那 (na) a phonetic kanji or 菜 (na) meaning "vegetables, greens". 刹那 is by far the most popular spelling for boys, for girls the name is often written in hiragana. Other kanji combinations are possible. This name is extremely popular in Japanese manga and anime with many characters bearing the name.
