Keiana is English in Origin.

Keiana (pronounced kee-AH-nuh or kay-AH-nuh) is a modern American coinage closely tied to Kiana, the Hawaiian form of Diana, and to the late-20th-century trend of Ke-/Key- prefixed names in African-American communities. It appears in U.S. records mainly from the 1980s onward, paralleling the rise of Kiana/Keyana, and has remained a distinctive, seldom-ranked choice rather than a chart regular.

Meanings are usually taken from its roots. Through Kiana (the Hawaiian form of Diana), Keiana inherits the sense of “divine” or “heavenly.” As a creative blend, it can also be read from Japanese Kei (“respect, blessing, gemstone,” depending on kanji) plus Ana, a form of Hannah (“grace”), yielding interpretations like “blessed grace.” Common variants include Keianna, Keyana, Keyanna, Keiyanna, Keana, and Ke'ana; nicknames include Keia, Kea, Kia, and Ana. The name’s fluid formation gives it contemporary flair with a gentle, vowel-rich rhythm.
