Xana is of Greek origin, derived from the word "xenia," which means hospitality and stranger-friendliness. This name has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique sound and spelling. It is often used as a female given name but can also be used for males. Xana is composed of four letters: two consonants (X and N) and two vowels (A).
