Oksana
Oksana, Oxana, or Aksana (Ukrainian: Оксана; Belarusian: Аксана, Russian: Оксана), is a 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, romanized: Oxana), Xana (Russian: Ксана, romanized: Xana), Sana (Russian: Сана, romanized: Sana) and Kseniya (Russian: Ксения, romanized: Xenia) are thought to originate from one of two Greek words: Xenia (hospitality) or Xenos (stranger).[1] Axana is another alternative spelling.
