Galiana is Slavic in Origin.

Galiana is a feminine name of Romance origin, attested in medieval Iberia. It is often linked to the Latin gentilicium Galianus, from Gallus “Gaul,” giving the sense “Gallic; from Gaul.” In Spain, the form was also colored by contact with Arabic courts, which may have shaped its sound and appeal.

The name survives in legend as the Moorish princess Galiana of Toledo, remembered by the Palacio de Galiana. Use as a given name appears sporadically in Castilian records and later as a surname in Spain and Italy; modern usage remains rare but stylish in Spain and parts of Latin America. Variants include Galiane (French) and Galiena (medieval); Galeana is a Hispanic byform better known as a surname. Nicknames Gali and Liana fit contemporary tastes. Note that Galina is unrelated (Greek “calm”).
