Silvana is a girl’s name of Italian origin, meaning “of the forest”. Stemming from the name Silva, a Latin name that similarly means “from the woods”, this name in its earliest form comes from Silvanus. In Roman mythology, this was a God of the woods and uncultivated land who delighted in seeing trees and plants grow naturally. From verdant green land to blue skies painted with fluffy clouds, your little one will thrive in the world around her. Inspired by this vivid imagery, baby Silvana will grow wild and free, a spirited addition to your home.

This is my name, it's kinda old fashioned in Brazil where I was born but in all places I have traveled (35 countries) I had no problems and lots of compliments on it. I like it.
My name is Silvana and, if you're gonna use it don't pair it with a longer middle name in my opinion. I have 3 names and my 2 last names are 3 and 4 syllables long :)
Silvana comes from the Latin "silva" that means "forest" and the suffix "ana", that indicates origin and can be translated as "that comes from/ that was born in". Therefore, Silvana means "The one that comes from the forest" or "The one that was born in the forest". It's a nymph's name =)

Well, my name is Silvana. I think my name's nice, it's just really annoying when people call me Sylvania or Silvagnes lol. They can come up with the most annoying names but I still love 'em! I like it because it's very unique! It just sucks when helping people on how to pronounce it. I didn't even know how to say it when I was younger lol.
In Italy Silvana was typical of the 1920s. It was the 6th most popular name in Rome in 1921, the 2nd (behind Maria) in 1926, the 7th in 1931. Today it sounds old-fashioned.
The most famous bearer of this name was Italian actress Silvana Mangano (1930-1989). Also, it is borne by Silvana Pampanini (also Italian actress, b. 1927) and by one of the twins played by Belinda in the Mexican soap opera "Cómplices al Rescate".
