Eliana meaning
Eliana is an international and Christian girl's name.
My God has answered (Hebrew ʾel 'God' + ʿanah 'to answer')
Also used to mean: sun
Eliana has two separate roots. As a Hebrew name it joins ʾel, "God", with the verb ʿanah, which Strong's concordance gives as to answer or respond, so it means "my God has answered". It is also the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese form of the Latin Aeliana, a feminine name from the Roman family of the Aelii. Some name lists give "sun", by linking it with Greek hēlios, but that has no basis. The name flows easily in Indian languages, and parents who like it often also consider the spelling Elliana.
