A Arabic name gently fading from the charts.
The capital and largest city of Yemen.
Sanaa is a girl's baby name of Arabic origin meaning 'brilliance,' 'radiance,' or 'the art of beauty.' It became widely recognized through actress Sanaa Lathan, whose work in films like Love and Basketball and Alien vs. Predator brought this elegant name to broad attention.
Sanaa was #678 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #2397, but its charm endures.
