Liana is a pretty, graceful and simple name that doesn't fall flat. The name of a flowering tropical vine that grows in forests, it's an international gem that works well in multiple languages.
 
As a nature name, Liana derives from the French liane meaning "liana, clematis", however, it can also be considered a short form of Juliana, Liliana, Eliana, and similar, or, as a spelling variation of the compound name, Leanna.
