What is the meaning of the name Eliant ?

The baby name Eliant is a Unisex name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced EL-ee-ant (IPA: /ˈɛliənt/).

Eliant is Welsh in Origin.

Eliant is a rare masculine given name most plausibly related to Elian, itself from the Latin cognomen Aelianus (“of the Aelius family”), carried into Welsh and Breton by the cult of Saint Elian. In Brittany the spelling matches the Breton form of the commune Elliant (Breton: Eliant), which has helped local awareness of the name. The meaning is “belonging to Aelius”; by folk association it can also be read as “sunny, radiant,” via the ancient link between Aelius and Greek helios “sun.”

Though Elian appears in medieval hagiography, Eliant as a first name surfaces only sporadically in French records and remains modern and uncommon, with occasional use in France, Belgium, and francophone Canada. Variants and cognates include Elian, Élian, Elien, Aelian/Aelien, and Romance Eliano; feminine forms are Éliane/Eliane and Eliana. Nicknames: Eli, Lian.

Eliant is extremely rare. There are only 9 recorded uses on record, spread over 6 countries.
