Lyanna

The name Lyanna is a feminine name of uncertain origin. It is possibly derived from the Welsh name Liana, which means 'delicate' or 'slender', or from the English name Leanne, which is a combination of the French name Liane and the English name Anne.

The name gained popularity in recent years, particularly after its use in the popular fantasy series 'A Song of Ice and Fire' by George R.R. Martin, where Lyanna is the name of a central character.

Despite its widespread use, the exact meaning and etymology of the name Lyanna remain uncertain, as it does not have a clear linguistic root.

The name is often considered a variant or combination of other names, but it has developed its own distinct identity and popularity.
