The suffix -ana, -iana, or -eana have also often been used in the titles of musical works, as a way for a composer to pay tribute to an earlier composer or noted performer. History and lexicology The suffix has been around since at least the 16th century, typically in book titles, with the first recorded use of -ana being between 1720 and 1730.Definition of ana https://www.dictionary.com/browse/ana 2021-02-21 Dictionary.com en The recognition of the usage of -ana or -iana as a self-conscious literary construction, on the other hand, traces back to at least 1740, when it was mentioned in an edition of Scaligerana, a collection of table talk of Joseph Justus Scaliger, from around 150 years previously.Scaligerana http://warburg.sas.ac.uk/research/completed-research-projects/scaliger/scaligerana Warburg Institute 12 August 2016 By that period, Scaliger was described as "the father, so to speak, of all those books published under the title of -ana."Sanford Eva M. January 1931 Scaligerana The Classical Journal 26 279–286 4 As grammatical construction, it is the neuter plural, nominative form of an adjective. So, from Scaliger is formed first the adjective Scaligeranus (Scaligeran), which is then put into the form of an abstract noun, Scaligerana (Scaligeran things). In Americana, a variant construction, the adjectival form already exists as Americanus, so it is simply a neuter plural (suffix –a on the stem American-); the case of Victoriana (things associated with the Victorian period) is superficially similar, but the Latin adjective form is Dog Latin.What is the origin of Americana? https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/11319/what-is-the-origin-of-americana#:~:text=1%20Answer,the%20Latin%20adjectival%20ending%20%2Danus Derived terms Places Africana — things relating to Africa Americana — things relating to the United States Californiana — things relating to the state of California Floridiana — things relating to the state of Florida Hawaiiana — things relating to the state of Hawaii and cultural artifacts of Native Hawaiians Columbiana County, Ohio — named in honor of 15th-century Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, combining his surname with the suffix -iana Columbiana, Ohio — city within Columbiana County which takes its name from the county itself Australiana — things relating to Australia Canadiana — things relating to Canada Europeana — things relating to Europe Flandrica — things relating to Flanders Filipiniana — things relating to the Philippines Kiwiana — things relating to New Zealand Rhodesiana — things relating to Rhodesia Literature Bondiana — items relating to James Bond.
