I absolutley hate this. I search my name on websites like this, and it always comes up as a variant! THIS IS NOT TRUE! Jenna is an Arabic name that means 'little bird'. Just because Jenna sounds like Jenny doesn't make them the same!

Folks called Nick are advised to avoid the Arabic meaning......Nick in Arabic has something to do with intestinal gas.Also, never tell a Romanian "you're the boss!" (Boss in Romanian has something to do with the male reproductive system).Pavlos, lapsing into Beavis-n-Butthead mode, hehe hehe hehe...

...and one should never think you will please a German by sending him a "gift". :) (Gift is the German word for "poison".)

If you plan on travelling to Poland don't name your daughter Becca. "Ona/on beka" means "She/he burps."

Jenna, when it is an Arabic name, means "little bird" according to many websites.Jenna, when it is an English name, is a short variant of Jennifer.Those are the facts.

And just because it can have another meaning doesn't mean it can't also be a variant of something else or have another meaning as well.
