History & Origin

Quiana is a coined name with an unusual route: it began as the brand name of a silky nylon fabric introduced by DuPont, and passed from there into American naming, as brand names sometimes do. It also reads as a Qu- spin on Kiana, or as a blend with the flowing -iana ending. There is no ancient etymology behind it, and we will not invent one. Routes uncertain, which we note (said 'kee-AH-nuh').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records now. Rare, coined, and distinctly American.

Did you know? Quiana was first a silky fabric made by DuPont — a brand name that American parents heard, liked, and turned into a girl's name. We note that honestly.
