[Facts] What's up with the name Zann?
The Bump says "Zann as a boy's name is of Slavic origin, and the meaning of Zann is 'to defend or help'"
BabyCenter says it's a girl's name, but doesn't provide anything else on it's meaning or origin.
BabyNamesPedia says "The baby boy name Zann is pronounced ZAEN. Zann's origin is Hebrew. Zann is a variant transcription of Zan (Hebrew)."
Nameberry says it's a boy's name- "Diminutive of Alexander, Greek 'defending men'", and a variation of Zan, which is also Greek.
This site says that the name Zan is Chinese and gender-neutral.
The only person I know named Zann is German.
So where does this name come from??
Update: nvm they just made it up.

It probably comes from all those sources and then some. For instance, the only Zann I know is a girl named Suzanne. Maybe that's what BabyCenter were aiming at.
