In certain parts of Latin America it means a FRIEND.
It is used in Venezuela, Columbia, countries in that area.
It is also common for them to say "brother", in english, with a strong spanish accent.(i.e., mi pana, mi brother)

Depends on what language you're talking about.
In Puerto Rican Spanish "pana" is used in much the same way as American English "pal" and "buddy" , British English "mate", Canadian French tchomme and Parisian French copain etc.
Mexican Spanish speakers would probably use just "amigo."
In Romanian, pana means "the feather" from Latin penna.

In Dictionary.com, it's only listed as a city in Illinois. It's not listed in Merriam Webster at all.

You don't specify which language you have in mind, but in Polish it means "your" or "you" when speaking politely to a man (as opposed to a woman, when it would be "pani"
