Aliona is Slavic in Origin.

Aliona is an Eastern Slavic feminine name, most commonly a transliteration of the Russian Alyona (Алёна), a pet form that became independent from Yelena/Elena, ultimately from Greek Helene, 'torch; light; shining one'. The spelling Aliona reflects Ukrainian and Moldovan/Romanian usage and the i-o sequence used in Latin alphabets; German sources often show Aljona. The name is well established in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Moldova, and appears internationally through migration and popular culture.

Adopted widely after the Christianization of the Slavic lands, Alyona/Aliona long functioned as a domestic diminutive before rising to official-name status in the 20th century. Variants and cognates include Alyona, Alena, Alona, Aljona, Yelena, Elena, and Helena. Nicknames range from Alya and Liona to Lena. The core meaning evokes brightness, radiance, and an illuminating presence.
