Amana:

perennial. (1.) The Hebrew margin of 2Ki 5:12 gives this as another reading of Abana (q.v.), a stream near Damascus.

(2.) A mountain (Sgs 4:8), probably the southern summit of Anti-Libanus, at the base of which are the sources of the Abana.

Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary

Amana:

integrity; truth; a nurse

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Amana:

a-ma'-na, ('amanah): A mountain mentioned in So 4:8 along with Lebanon, Senir and Hermon. The name probably means the "firm," or "constant." "From the top of Amana" is mistranslated by the Septuagint apo arches pisteos. The Amana is most naturally sought in the Anti-Lebanon, near the course of the river Abana, or Amana (see ABANAH). Another possible identification is with Mt. Amanus in the extreme north of Syria.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Amana:

(a covenant) apparently a mountain in or near Lebanon (Solomon 4:8). It is commonly assumed that this is the mountain in which the river Abana (2 Kings 5:12) has its source.
