Life or alive; God is gracious
Ashauna is a modern American blend that likely combines the Sanskrit-derived name Asha, meaning 'life' or 'hope', with the suffix -auna, or it may be a creative variant of Shawna, the feminine form of Sean, meaning 'God is gracious'. It represents a contemporary trend of melodic, multi-syllabic feminine names.
Fewer than 5 girls were named Ashauna in 2025.
