What is the meaning of the name Ilanah ?

The baby name Ilanah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /iˈlɑːnə/; respelling: ee-LAH-nah.

Ilanah is Hebrew in Origin.

Ilanah is a Hebrew feminine name from ilan (אילן) “tree,” formed with the feminine suffix -a(h). It conveys rootedness, resilience, and renewal - qualities tied to Jewish symbolism surrounding trees and the land. While the word ilan appears in rabbinic and liturgical Hebrew, Ilanah functions as a modern given name rather than a biblical personal name.

Use of the name grew with the revival of Hebrew in the 20th century, becoming familiar in Israel and across the Jewish diaspora; some families choose it around Tu BiShvat, the New Year of Trees. Ilana is the most common form; Ilanah is an alternative transliteration reflecting the final heh in Hebrew spelling. Related forms include the masculine Ilan and the variant Ilanit. Anglicized spellings such as Elana/Elanah occur, while look-alikes Alana/Alannah (Irish, from a leanbh “my child”) and Iliana/Eliana are unrelated.
