Oksana


Oksana or Oxana, sometimes transliterated as Aksana, is a popular female given name of Ukrainian origin. The closest equivalent is the Russian name Kseniya but the two names coexist in use in both countries and neither of them is a shortening of the other.

Origin

The names Oksana, Xana, Sana and Kseniya are thought to originate from one of two Greek words: Xenia or Xenos. Axana is another alternative spelling.
The Russian and Ukrainian meaning is "praise be to God", however, Oksana may also be related to the Persian name Rukhsana meaning "beautiful" or the woman with "beautiful cheeks".
