Eliano is the Italian and Spanish form of the Latin Aelianus, a Roman name derived from the family name Aelius, which is often linked to the Greek helios, "sun". It sounds like a blend of Elian and Emiliano and is appearing more and more in Hispanic American families. Eliano has risen from number 8980 in 2015 to number 2292 in 2025, its highest US rank so far.
