What does the name Eliana mean?

The first name Eliana is an Italian and Spanish form of Eliane. The derivation of the name can come from three different origins. 1.) From Hebrew, it literally translates to 'my God has answered' or 'my God has responded'. The name consists of three ancient Hebrew elements and is composed with 'ēl (אֵל) for 'God' and 'anāh (עָנָה) for 'to answer' or 'so answered', and the suffix 'i' after 'el' indicates the first person. 2.) The name is considered a feminine variant of the ancient biblical name Elias, which in turn derives from the Hebrew name 'êlı̂yâhû (אֵלִיָּהוּ). Its short form 'êlı̂yâh (אֵלִיָּה) consists of the ancient Hebrew word components 'ēl (אֵל) for 'God' and yâh (יָה) for 'the name of God'. Consequently, the meaning is 'my God is Yahweh' or 'my God is JHWH'. 3.) Eliana can also be derived from the Greek from the Latinized version Helius, which comes from the ancient Greek name Helios. Interpreted meaningfully, the name then means 'the sun' and 'daughter of the sun', derived from the ancient Greek element hēlios (ἥλιος) for 'sun', 'sunshine', 'sunlight', and 'sunbeams'. Elias is a great and righteous prophet of God in the Bible. Furthermore, he preached powerfully against the worship of Baal. The Italian male form is Eliano.
