History & Origin
Elyanna is a variant of Eliana, built from the Hebrew elements 'El', meaning 'God', and 'anah', 'answered', so the whole reads as 'my God has answered'. The doubled letters give the familiar name a fuller, more flowing look. The meaning frames the child as a long-hoped-for answer, a tender note for a given name.
The name flows in four soft syllables that suit its lyrical origin. It is carried by the Palestinian-Chilean singer Elyanna, born in 2002, the first artist to perform a set entirely in Arabic at Coachella.
