Sanah
Girl name · 9 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Sanah: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1991.
A name of Arabic origin, Sanah means "radiance" or "brilliance," sharing roots with the more common Sana and often given for its luminous, uplifting quality. In South Asia, it is a familiar feminine name, notably borne by Indian playback singer Sanah Moidutty, known for her soulful film songs, while in Poland, the pop star Sanah (born Zuzanna Grabarczyk) has brought the name international visibility. No major place names connect directly, though the root appears in several Arabic geographical terms. As a further note, Sanah also appears in Sanskrit with the meaning "old" or "ancient," giving the name a second, more timeless layer of significance that appeals to parents seeking a cross-cultural choice with both modern and classical resonance.
