Our generated misspelling index lists 8 likely wrong-spelling variants for Havanna, with forms such as "ahvanna", "haavnna", and "havana".

Our confusable-pair dataset has no match for it, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.

This headword's origin isn't recorded in our source data, so its spelling is easiest explained by how it's pronounced rather than where it came from. The correct German form is Havanna, spelled H-A-V-A-N-N-A.
