What does Savannah mean?
/səˈvænə/3 syllablesOrigin: place-name transfer

Savannah is an English word for a flat, open grassland, especially in tropical or subtropical regions. The word entered English from Spanish sabana, which in turn came from a Taino word for open grassland; the Georgia city of the same name is sometimes linked to a separate, unrelated theory tracing its river's name to a Shawnee word for "southerners."

Savannah has an open, sunny feel, a good match for a pet who loves being outdoors and covering wide-open spaces at a run.
