Ivana

Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Ivana: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1996.

Ivana is the feminine form of Ivan, which itself derives from the Slavic rendition of John, ultimately from the Hebrew Yochanan, meaning "God is gracious." The name is widely used across Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia, the Czech Republic, and Croatia, and entered the Scottish naming pool through modern global exchange. Perhaps the most internationally recognised bearer is Ivana Trump, the Czech-American businesswoman and former wife of Donald Trump, who brought the name into the spotlight during the 1980s and 1990s. In the arts, Spanish actress Ivana Baquero gained acclaim as the young lead in Guillermo del Toro
