Oksana
Oksana or Oxana (Ukrainian: Оксана; Russian: Оксана, Belarusian: Аксана), sometimes transliterated as Aksana, is a popular female given name of Ukrainian origin. The closest equivalent is the Russian name Kseniya (Russian: Ксения) but the two names coexist in use in both countries and neither of them is a shortening of the other.
Origin
The names Oksana (Russian: Оксана), Xana (Russian: Ксана), Sana (Russian: Сана) and Kseniya (Russian: Ксения) are thought to originate from one of two Greek words: Xenia (hospitality) or Xenos (stranger).[1] Axana is another alternative spelling.
The Russian and Ukrainian meaning is "praise be to God", however, Oksana may also be related to the Persian name Rukhsana meaning "beautiful" or the woman with "beautiful cheeks".
