Sometimes it's a pet form of Anna or names ending in -ana (Liliana, Tatiana etc.), but I can't remember in which country.

Two possible etymologies come to mind.
1) Nana in cute hellenic name meaning "extremely small","dwarfish", "diminutive", "smurfy", etc. You may have heard of related words sunch as nanosecond, nanotechnology etc.
2) The mysterious evil goddess Nanaea, who has been identified, inter alia, with Isis, Aphrodite, the Goddess Kali, etc. Her modern-day namesake is amongst our very ranks.

Or it could derive from the proto-Celtic name Nana Heyhey, which meant "goodbye".
Actually, I always assumed "Nana" was a Greek name, as in "Nana Mouskouri". I was sure Che would have a definitive response, but he's waffling with alternatives as usual.

Hee-hee, Pavlos may be waffling with alternatives, but I see you've been konsorting with the Kabalarians. ;) I checked out their website last night and saw that someone had sometime ago submitted the name "Daividh" to them. There can't be that many Welshmen visiting that website, can there? Of course, I should talk, as I'd submitted the name "Nanaea" to them quite a while back out of curiosity.
I submitted "CheBanana" to them last night. Should be interesting when they eventually post the results. :)
Oh, and I'm not the one responsible for having submitted the names "Satan" and "Satan-Himself" to the Kabalarians, in case you're wondering. But the Kabalarians' interpretation of both was pretty funny, nevertheless.

According to the Kabalarians:
"The name of Satan gives you the desire to meet and mix socially and to create congenial circumstances for everyone. However,
all too often, you express yourself in a matter-of-fact or awkward way that results in your good intentions being misunderstood.
If you are in sales work, you could do well because of your friendly personality, interest in people, and desire to please. You
prefer situations that allow a degree of independence, but are not too demanding in work-load or responsibility. When asked,
you are able to give others good advice that you would probably not follow yourself, but must guard against being too
opinionated in controversial matters. While you can appear to be confident, you need the moral support and encouragement of
others who give inspiration and strength. Weaknesses in health show in the senses of the head as well as in the various fluid
functions of the body."
Wow, does anyone know what methodology these fellows use? I'm dying to get the true scoop on CheBanana, thanks Nanaea.
they expound on the exotic, erotic and revolutionary themes CheBanana encapsulates.

Er, guilty as charged. But that was way back in '99 when this connection was still a new toy and I didn't know better. Besides, isn't everything on the Web redemptive and legit?
