About the name Rana
Rana is an Arabic feminine given name derived from a verb meaning ‘to gaze’ or ‘to look at.’ It is commonly used for girls in Arabic-speaking countries and is associated with the idea of being beautiful to look at. The name is distinct from the South Asian masculine title ‘Rana,’ which means ‘king’ or ‘prince’ and is used as a hereditary title among Rajput rulers and the Rana dynasty of Nepal. In Slavic languages, ‘rana’ means ‘wound,’ but this is unrelated to the Arabic name.
