Jehanna
From Fire Emblem Wiki
Jehanna is a nation in the game Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. The kingdom of Jehanna is a nation on the continent of Magvel, ruled by Ismaire, the Queen of the White Dunes. As her name implies, Jehanna is a country with many deserts in it. Her son is Joshua, the myrmidon. On Eirika's path, Jehanna Hall is visited and a battle takes place there: though Eirika wins the battle, Ismaire is killed by Caellach. After this, the castle is burned down and another battle takes place in the surrounding area. During the battle both Caellach and Valter are killed. Jehanna is the only country in the game to be ruled by a Queen. Jehanna was the third to lose their sacred sacred stone to Grado.

[edit] Etymology
The name 'Jehanna' might refer to Joan of Arc, whose name in Medieval french was spelled 'Jehanne.' This would correlate with Ismaire's being a female sword-user, even though Joan of Arc, although she did carry a sword and was armed, did not fight.
It also may refer to the word Gehenna, another name for Judeo-Christian hell. This would correlate with Jehanna being mostly desert, and the biblical hell interpreted as being filled with flames
