Where the name Eliana comes from

Eliana has more than one explanation.

In Hebrew it is read as “my God has answered”, built like Eliyahu on the divine element el. In Italian, Spanish and Portuguese it can also be a feminine of Eliano, a form of the Roman family name Aelianus, which probably refers to the gens Aelia. The two lines have grown together in modern use, and sources do not choose between them.
