Etymology: In Arabic, Sana means 'brilliance' or 'radiance', derived from the root 's-n-' meaning 'to shine'. In Japanese, it can be written as '紗菜' (light fabric + greens) or '早奈' (early + summer), often phonetically represented. In Sanskrit, 'Sana' relates to 'old' or 'eternal', but as a feminine given name in South Asia, it's associated with tenderness and affection.
