Eliana, Elianna, אֱלִיעָנָה (Hebrew), Ηλιάνα (Greek), إليانا (Arabic), is a feminine given name found with that spelling in Hebrew, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.
==Origin & meaning== Many sources derive it from Hebrew, literally translated as "My God has answered." It is composed of three Hebrew elements: EL, meaning GOD; ANA, meaning HE HAS ANSWERED; and the Yud, located after EL, indicating first person possession. Biblical sources: "And he erected there an altar, and called it El- [God] elohe-Israel [El, the God of the Patriarch Israel]" (). "And Efron answered [anah] Abraham, saying unto him," ().
