Liana Origin and Meaning

The name Liana is a girl's name of French origin meaning "to climb like a vine".

Liana is a pretty and graceful name — it's a flowering tropical vine — making a quiet comeback. Its connection to nature is one plus, and many parents like this kind of nonspecifically international name.

While French in origin, Liana could just as easily be Italian, Spanish, Hebrew, Russian, Swedish, or completely invented.
