We publish a meaning only with a cited source and a confidence label, and never generate one. Meanings are being researched for the most common names first.
Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Latvian. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Zan (773), Zayen (98), Sanne (47), Zahn (28), Zaynn (18), Zann (10), Zaen (6), Sane (5), Zaon (5).
