A name with plenty of glamor, Caliana is a compound name, blending Callie and Ana, which could give you the pretty meaning "beauty and grace" (from the Greek kallos and the Hebrew hanan, respectively).
Some sources suggest it is a variation on the Hawaiian names Kailani ("ocean + sky, heavens") or Kalia ("flower wreath, beloved"), while others list it as a spin on the Greek Caliadne (and Portuguese Caliandra) meaning "beautiful and masculine".
