Roanna is of Latin origin, meaning 'little rose'. It is a unique and elegant name that has gained some popularity in recent years. Roanna is also an Italian surname, derived from the given name. The name may have been influenced by the French name Roanne, which refers to the city of Roanne in France. Alternatively, it could be a variation of the German name Rohan, meaning 'from the meadow'. The name Roanna has a soft and feminine sound, and it is often associated with warmth and beauty, much like the rose it is named after.
The name Roanna appears to have been popular during the mid-20th century, with a notable spike in usage between 1951 and 1969, peaking at 17 births in both 1951 and 1965. However, it seems to have fallen out of favor since then, with fewer than 10 births recorded each year after 1984. Overall, there were a total of 440 babies named Roanna from 1917 to 2010.
