History & Origin

Eiliana is a modern respelling of Eliana, one of the fastest-rising girls' names of recent decades. The usual explanation is Hebrew: eli ('my God') with anah ('to answer'), giving 'God has answered me.' A second and equally honest account traces Eliana to the Latin family name Aelianus, connected to Greek helios ('sun'). The added -i- in Eiliana is a stylistic modern touch rather than a separate name (said 'ay-lee-AH-nah').

It appears only in very small numbers against the commoner Eliana. Rare, flowing, and modern.

Did you know? Eliana has two honest routes - Hebrew 'God has answered me,' and a Latin line from the family name Aelianus, connected to Greek helios, 'sun.' Eiliana is a modern spelling of it.
