Anana is Hebrew, Spanish in Origin.
Anana is a cross-cultural feminine name with several credible roots. In Inuit languages (notably Inuktitut/Greenlandic), anaana means “mother,” and the streamlined form Anana appears as a tender given name. In a Semitic track, it can be read as a feminine rendering of Anan, from Hebrew and Arabic for “cloud, sky,” lending an airy, poetic sense. In the Southern Cone of Spanish, ananá is the everyday word for “pineapple,” from Guaraní; while not traditional as a forename, Ananá/Anana sometimes surfaces as a bright, nature-inspired choice. As a reduplication of Ana (ultimately from Hannah, “grace”), it also works as a playful elaboration across Romance languages.
Usage is modern and rare outside its communities, rising with interest in concise, vowel-rich names. Variants and relatives include Anaana, Ananah, and the accented Ananá. Short forms and nicknames include Ana, Nana, and Nani.
