dana
Buddhist giving practice
Dana is a given name used for both men and women, though it has shifted toward predominantly female use in American English since the mid-20th century.
The name appears across multiple cultural origins—Irish, Scandinavian, and Hebrew among them.
Dana called to say she'd be late. (Capitalized Dana is the standard form as a proper name.)
