Hi, as a fellow person who has the name Savanna, I love it! Because any Savanna I have met spelled their name with a "h" and I'm glad to be unique and different name. So if you're a person who's name is spelt Savanna, like mine. Don't listen to those negative comments, wear it as a badge of honor for our amazing name.
Thandile Savanna Cordes, known as Savanna Cordes, is a South African former cricketer who played as a wicket-keeper and right-handed batter. She appeared in two One Day Internationals and two Twenty20 Internationals for South Africa in 2013. She played domestic cricket for Gauteng.
Most dictionaries list the default spelling of the grassy plain as Savanna, no H (going off the Taino word "zabana"). It seems like the H-spelling caught on due to similarities with names like Hannah and Sarah, where the H-spellings are more popular. While I prefer the ending H with Hannah (why miss out on the palindrome?), both Sara and Savanna I prefer without the ending H.That aside, Savanna is quite elegant, and I think unfairly maligned due to its "modernity" (as opposed to more traditional names).
I despise this name. To me it sounds bad and is confusing to spell. The name Savannah is overused and since they sound the same, overused goes along with Savanna too.

This is for everyone who says my name is bad, or sounds bad without an H. First of all they sound EXACTLY the same, who cares about the spelling. I think the spelling is beautiful any way you spell it. It is extremely inappropriate to hate on someone’s name. I’m aiming this comment towards the person who said they, “despised,” my name.

To be honest I like this name a lot. I honestly wish I had this name because I know Savanna and she is just so pretty. And smart. And just an amazing person overall!
I can't decide if I like this spelling over Savannah or not. Like the commenter above me, I don't care much for pointless H's at the end of names. It's just this name doesn't feel complete to me without the H at the end, but at the same time I think it's prettier without it. Either way, it's a gorgeous name.

I prefer this spelling of the name, simply because I don't like pointless h's at the end of names. For example, I prefer Sara over Sarah. Hanna over Hannah. I also like the nicknames for this name (in general): Savvy, Sav, Vanna, Anna, etc. I'm not saying that I don't like Savannah, because I do, I just prefer Savanna.

My best friend is Greek. Her name is Savanna Pappas, and we all call her Savanna. I like it over Savannah, it's more modern and looks prettier, almost. Not to be mean to the Savannahs out there: I like the name no matter what the spelling - it's pretty!
