It started marketing its internet services representing the brand Wanadoo, thus the name Wana. Initially a subsidiary of France Telecom, it is now entirely held by the Moroccan conglomerate ONA.

The name comes from the former Wanadoo brand which was represented by Maroc Connect in Morocco for a few years.
