What is the meaning of the name Eleana ?

The baby name Eleana is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced eh-LEE-ah-nah,el-ee-AH-nah.

Eleana is Greek, Hebrew in Origin.

Eleana is a feminine given name with blended roots. It functions both as a modern variant of Elena, derived from Greek Helene, and as a streamlined form of Eliana, from the Hebrew elements El ("God") and 'anah ("has answered"). Depending on which path is intended, Eleana is read as "torch, light, shining one" or "my God has answered." The spelling also appeals for its lyrical, vowel-rich shape across languages.

Across Europe the Helena/Elena family has medieval prestige through Saint Helena and numerous queens, and the Eliana form rose in popularity in the late twentieth century; Eleana appears chiefly from that period onward as an international spelling, used in English, Greek, and Romance-language settings. Variants and cognates include Elena, Helena, Hélène/Helene, Eliana, Ileana/Iliana, Eleni (Greek), Elina, Eleena, and Alena; related short forms include Ellie, Lena, and Ana.
