Mana

Mana comes from the Hawaiian language, where it embodies the concept of 'spiritual energy' or 'essence'. This gives the name an almost mystical quality, suggesting an inner strength and force of character. In Japanese, Mana carries a softer sentiment, meaning 'love', often expressed through the characters '愛' (ai) and '菜' (na). This dual heritage offers a beautiful blend of spirituality and affection, making it a name that resonates on multiple levels.

In terms of popularity, Mana has had quite an interesting journey. It reached its best rank of #3344 back in 1917, before disappearing from the charts in 1932. Remarkably, it re-emerged in 1958 and experienced a dramatic leap of 3791 spots between 2000 and 2001. However, it has since settled back, holding the #6171 spot in 2024. The fluctuations in its ranking reflect its unique charm and the periods when it captured collective attention.

Mana carries an air of charisma and mystery, aligning well with its meanings. It's a modern choice for those who appreciate a name with spiritual depth and a touch of the mystical. Whether inspired by love or spiritual essence, Mana offers a sense of balance and allure that's hard to ignore.
