Eliyanah is an elaborated spelling of Eliana, a Hebrew name that means "my God has answered", from Eli, my God, and anah, to answer. The -yah ending echoes names such as Aaliyah and Nevaeh and gives it a more ornate look than the original. Eliyanah had fewer than five births a year in 2000, took off after 2015, reached number 1049 in 2024 and ranks number 1291 in 2025.
