Etymologically, Savana stems from the Spanish 'sabana,' meaning 'plain' or 'sheet,' borrowed from Taino indigenous terms for open lands, later applied to African and American savannas. In Hebrew contexts, it echoes 'Shavannah' linked to 'plain' in biblical geography. Historically, it entered English via colonial explorations in the 16th century, evolving into a place name before personal use in the 20th century.
