      The name Ruana traces its origins back to the ancient Persian language, where it originally gained significance as a word meaning soul. The Persian culture cherished this concept of the soul and believed it to be an intrinsic and vital aspect of an individual's being.

Its usage has predominantly remained within regions influenced by Persian culture, such as Iran and neighboring countries. However, in modern times, we observe a growing interest in diverse and unique names, leading to a broader adoption of Ruana outside the Persian-speaking world. This expansion can be attributed to increased cultural exchange, migration, and a wider appreciation for different naming traditions. Consequently, Ruana has found its way into families of various ethnic backgrounds, symbolizing a universal longing for a strong spiritual identity.
