Eliana

Hebrew

"my God has answered"

Eliana Origin and Meaning

The name Eliana is a girl's name of Hebrew, Greek, Latin origin meaning "my God has answered".

The Hebrew variation of Eliana was taken from the elements el, meaning “God” and ana, meaning “answered.” Eliana also has roots as a variation of the Late Latin name Aeliana, a feminization of the male given name Aelianus, itself derived from the Roman family name Aelius. Aelius is related to the Greek word helios, which refers to the Sun.

Eliana is a lilting, rhythmic choice, which has begun to catch on here along with many other El-starting names. One celebrity who chose it for his daughter is Christian Slater.

A widely multi-cultural choice, Eliana is heard in Israel, Spain, Portugal, Russia and Italy. The pretty French version is Eliane.
