The name "Shana", which was given by Yuji to the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter (from her main weapon, Nietono no Shana) actually refers to the buddha Vairocana. Coincidentally, Shana, or "שנה", also means "Year" in Hebrew and is a common variant of the Hebrew name "שושנה", or "Shoshana", meaning Lily or Rose.
