Elliana Origin and Meaning

The name Elliana is a girl's name of Hebrew origin meaning "my God has answered".

The multicultural Eliana has been rising quickly in recent years and is now popular in Netherlands, the UK, Canada, France, and Brazil. With in-built nicknames Ellie, Elle and Ana, Eliana - and her spelling variants - are versatile and appealing.

Spelling variation Elliana is mostly used in the US, where it joins Eliana and Elianna in the Top 300. The second most popular option, it is given to more than 2300 baby girls each year.

The name Eliana may have roots in the Latin family name Aelius, related to the Greek helios, which means "sun". In Hebew, El means God and ana means answered, which may make Elliana a good name for a prayed-for child.

Elliana entered the charts in 2005, nearly a decade after Eliana began to really climb the ranks. Now, just outside the Top 100, it continues to attract parents with its more direct route to the ultra-popular nickname Ellie through the double Ls.

A notable bearer of this spelling is dancer, model, and influencer Elliana Walmsley of Dance Moms fame whose appearance on the show between 2016 and 2019 coincided with an increased use in the spelling.

While Elliana does rank outside the Top 100, according to Playground Analysis for 2023, when you combine all the Elianas, Eliannas, Ellianas, and Elyannas etc. together, it begins to feel more like a Top 20 choice, ranking similarly to Camila or Sofia.n

If you like Elliana but were hoping for something less popular in the US, you could consider Estella, Luciana, Elodie, or Noelia.
