From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Oksana or Oxana (Ukrainian: Оксана; Russian: Оксана, Belarusian: Аксана), sometimes transliterated as Aksana, is a popular female given name of Ukrainian origin. The closest equivalent is the Russian name Kseniya (Russian: Ксения) but the two names coexist in use in both countries and are not a shortening of each other. Both names derive from the Greek Xenia.[citation needed]
