Iliann is a modern, largely Francophone given name with layered roots. It can be read as a contemporary blend of Ilian/Elian with Ann(e), a creative respelling of Ilian/Iliyan (Bulgarian from Iliya, the equivalent of Elijah), or a feminine echo of Eliane/Eliana. Accordingly, its meanings range from the Hebrew "Yahweh is my God" (via Elijah) to "God has answered" (via Eliana) and, through Latin Aelianus or Greek Helene lines tied to Eliane, associations of "sun" and "light." The name is used for all genders, though local trends may skew one way.

Usage is recent, rising in France, Belgium, and francophone Canada since the early 2000s, with sporadic appearance elsewhere. Related forms and spellings include Ilian, Ilyan, Iliyan, Elian/Elyan, Iliane, Eliane/Elianne, Eliana, Lian, and Lianne; short forms include Ili, Lili, Ian, Lia, and Ann. Iliann suits parents seeking a sleek, international sound with spiritual or luminous undertones.
