An uncommon Japanese pick — distinctive and rare.
Kitana is a girl's baby name of Japanese origin, popularized through the iconic video game character from Mortal Kombat. In Japanese, katana refers to a type of samurai sword — Kitana's slight variation of the spelling gives it a softer, more feminine feel while retaining the warrior spirit.
Kitana climbed 164 spots in the last 20 years — from #3104 to #2940.
