Elliana is an elaborated spelling of Eliana, a Hebrew name that means "my God has answered", from El, God, and anah, to answer; some also connect it to the Greek helios, "sun". The double l gives it a softer, more romantic look that fits with names like Ella and Liana. In the United States Elliana entered the top 1000 in 2005, rose from number 301 in 2015 to a peak of number 115 in 2023 and ranks 139th in 2025.
