Question:

My name is Audania. It's Russian. Anyone know what it means or where it comes from?

I don't know the original spelling.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: As written, the name is Italian. But it bears repeating that names don't have nationalities...people do. So a name out of context is meaningless.

I went through both of the major passenger list sites, the Battery Conservancy of the Port of New York and Ellis Island. Neither has any answer, but there are clues.

The closest name was:
S. Audanacio Laborer 29 M 4 Jun 1888 Italy

The other alternatives were:
Audemia, Audonia, Audonie, Autanio, Autonia, Audonio, Autonio, Adania, Adamia, Adanie, Autinio, Autoni, Autoniou, Autunio, Adamie, Adaniee, Adanio, Adonia, Aatonio, Adamiah, Adamio, Addanio, Atanio, Audoma, Autenna, Autuni

My suggestion is to trace your lineage back and find the name of your immigrant ancestor. Bring us the name and the dates that you found and we'll be happy to help you find more on him.
