What does Ellianna mean?
Ellianna is a modern, feminine spelling associated with Eliana, a name often connected with the Hebrew elements eli, meaning "my God", and anah, meaning "has answered". This gives it the appealing interpretation "my God has answered", although the exact double-l, double-n spelling is a later English-language elaboration rather than a traditional Hebrew form.
With its flowing vowels and familiar Ellie opening, Ellianna feels sweet and polished. The ending also brings Anna to mind, giving the name a graceful, romantic quality while retaining a contemporary edge.
