From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Cana
     reedy, a town of Galilee, near Capernaum. Here our Lord wrought
     his first miracle, the turning of water into wine (John 2:1-11;
     4:46). It is also mentioned as the birth-place of Nathanael
     (21:2). It is not mentioned in the Old Testament. It has been
     identified with the modern Kana el-Jelil, also called Khurbet


     Kana, a place 8 or 9 miles north of Nazareth. Others have
     identified it with Kefr Kenna, which lies on the direct road to
     the Sea of Galilee, about 5 miles north-east of Nazareth, and 12
     in a direct course from Tiberias. It is called "Cana of
     Galilee," to distinguish it from Cana of Asher (Josh. 19:28).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
