Silvana is a girl’s name of Latin origin, meaning “of the forest.” Stemming from the name Silva, a Latin name that similarly means “from the woods,” this name in its earliest form comes from Silvanus. In Roman mythology, this was the name of the god of the countryside and uncultivated land, who delighted in seeing trees and plants grow naturally. You may also love Silvana’s connection to the word silvanae, the name of the goddesses of the woods. From verdant green land to blue skies painted with fluffy clouds, your little one will thrive in the world around her. Inspired by this vivid imagery, baby Silvana will grow wild and free, a spirited addition to your home.
