Oksana, Oxana, or Aksana (; , ), is a female given name of Ukrainian origin. The closest equivalent is the Russian name Kseniya (), but the two names coexist in use in both countries, and neither of them is a shortening of the other.
==Origin== The names Oksana (), Xana (), Sana () and Kseniya () are thought to originate from one of two Greek words: Xenia (hospitality) or Xenos (stranger). Axana is another alternative spelling.
