There is a Ukrainian supermodel named Snejana. I assume it's pronounced "snay-YAH-nuh." Does anyone know what it means?

It's a cognate of Snjezana and Snezana. And it's pronounced sne-ZHA-nah.

Thanks, I should have seen the connection. And I'm a blockhead when it comes to pronunciations! What do you think of that name? Is it very common?

If you mean Snejana Onopka, yes! (The link didn't work for me.) Why is she called the Abominable Whatsit? She's so prettyyyyyyyyyyy! http://www.supermodels.nl/Tools/img.aspx?img=/ModelPics/snejanaonopka/01.jpg
