Sania: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2001.

A radiant name with Arabic roots, Sania is a variant of Sana, meaning “radiance,” “brilliance,” or “praiseworthy,” and also shares lineage with the name Saniya, evoking a sense of lofty elegance. The most celebrated bearer is Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, a Grand Slam champion who inspired millions across South Asia and beyond. While no major places bear the name directly, its close relative Sana can be found as a city in Yemen. A graceful international choice, Sania also works as a melodic twist on the more familiar Sonia or Tania, giving it a modern yet timeless feel that suits both Scottish and global families.
