Lyanne is a modern feminine given name often viewed as a variant of Leanne/Lianne, a compound of English Lee/Lea (“meadow, clearing,” from Old English leah) and Anne (from Hebrew Channah, “grace, favor”). Under that analysis, Lyanne is interpreted as “graceful meadow” or “grace in the clearing.” It can also function as a respelling of French/German Liane, a short form of Éliane or Juliane; in that line, some link it to Eliana and the Hebrew phrase “my God has answered,” though that reading depends on the chosen root.

Related forms include Lianne, Leanne, Lee-Anne, Liane, Éliane, and Lianna; diminutives Lia and Annie are typical. The name saw wider visibility where Leanne and Liane rose mid-century, while Lyanne offers a contemporary twist with a lyrical sound.
