Sanjuana is a unique and captivating given name of Spanish origin, derived from the Latin word 'sanctus,' meaning holy. It is often used as an alternative to the more common San Juan, which translates to St. John in English. This elegant moniker has been embraced by families seeking a distinctive yet meaningful name for their children.
The name Sanjuana experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the century from 1911 to 2014, with a total of 2283 births recorded during this period. While there were years with as many as 58 births (in 1947), other years saw only single-digit numbers, such as the 5 births in 2014. The peak in popularity occurred around the mid-1940s, with a notable spike of 93 births in 1949. However, by the end of the century and into the early 2000s, the name's usage had dwindled significantly, with fewer than 25 births per year from 1980 onwards, and several years with less than 10 births each.
