Holana is Hawaiian in Origin.

Holana is a rare modern feminine name with several plausible sources. In English-speaking use, it is often read as a graceful blend of Holly and Alana (or Lana). In a Hawaiian-leaning context, it echoes the vocabulary word ‘olana,’ glossed as buoyancy and, figuratively, hope, and sits near the place-name form Hōlani. As a given name, Holana appears sporadically in late-20th-century records and remains outside the main popularity charts, gaining modest notice alongside nature- and island-evoking choices in the 2000s and 2010s.

Meanings reflect the path you prefer: from Hawaiian, “buoyant; hopeful; afloat,” or, when treated as a creative spin on Helena, “torch; light.” Variant spellings include Hollana and Holanna; related forms and near-cognates are Alana, Lana, Hōlani, and Olana.
