Shaguanna is an uncommon yet significant African name derived from the Yoruba culture of Nigeria and Benin, meaning "one who brings joy" or "the joyful one". It's associated with Oya, a spirit representing wind, fire, and death in Yoruba folklore. Historically given to girls born during times of change, Shaguanna has been passed down through generations and remains popular today due to its positive connotations and rich cultural heritage.
