Of the forest
Silvana is the feminine form of Silvanus, the Roman god of the woods and uncultivated lands. It shares the same root as the more common names Silvia and Silas, evoking a deep connection to nature and the wild. In Italian and Spanish cultures, it remains a sophisticated choice that feels both ancient and refined.
