Is “Wobani” an intentional anagram of “Obi-wan”?
I've seen in a couple of places, most notable here that
The name of the prison planet that Jyn is rescued on is called Wobani, which is an anagram for the name Obi-Wan.

Is this an intentional anagram?
Is there canonical confirmation that this was intended, or just a simple coincidence?

There's zero chance it was a coincidence.

I would not say a zero chance, but I would say it is higher than epsilon.

I don't necessarily doubt that it is a coincidence, however I'm yet to see the actual proof.

I will be accepting my own self-answer on this one, however, if you feel that you have a better answer, feel free to post it and I will gladly consider changing.

Pablo Hidalgo sort-of confirmed this.
I recently asked Pablo hidalgo (twice) on twitter about this, and got a response:
I hadn't noticed until someone pointed it out; I don't know. All I see is a brand name of Greek yogurt.
Hidalgo, Twitter, 2017-01-17.
This is only a sort-of confirmation, as it doesn't say whether it was intentional or not, just that Pablo found out the connection after the fact. He also doesn't really seem to think it is a strong connection, given that the name "Wobani" sounds more like a greek yoghurt brand, Chobani
