Oksana

Oksana, Oxana, or Aksana (Оксана; Аксана, Оксана), is a female given name of Ukrainian origin. The closest equivalent is the Russian name Kseniya (Ксения), but the two names coexist in use in both countries, and neither of them is a shortening of the other.

Origin
The names Oksana (Оксана), Xana (Ксана), Sana (Сана) and Kseniya (Ксения) are thought to originate from one of two Greek words: Xenia (hospitality) or Xenos (stranger). Axana is another alternative spelling.
