Sahana (सहन / ಸಹನಾ) is the Sanskrit word for "patience" or "endurance" — also the name of a classical raga in Carnatic and Hindustani music.
Sahana is widely used in South India.
Sahana does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Sahana reduce to 8, The Visionary. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
