What is the meaning of the name Oriana ?

The baby name Oriana is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced oh-REE-ah-nuh (common: /oʊˈriːənə/; alternative: or-ee-AH-nuh /ˌɔːriˈɑːnə/).

Oriana is Latin in Origin.

Oriana is a feminine given name from the medieval Romance sphere, likely built on Latin orior “to rise” (source of “orient”), giving the sense of dawn or sunrise; a parallel folk etymology connects it to Latin aurum “gold,” yielding “golden.” The name surfaces in Old French and Iberian tales, where its bright, courtly resonance kept both meanings in circulation.

It became widely known through the Spanish chivalric romance Amadís de Gaula, whose heroine is Oriana. In Elizabethan England the name served as a poetic epithet for Queen Elizabeth I, celebrated in the madrigal collection The Triumphs of Oriana (1601). Usage revived in the 19th and 20th centuries and today remains uncommon yet recognizable in Italy, Spain, France, and English-speaking countries. Variants include Oriane, Orianne, Orianna, Oryana, and Oria; nicknames range from Ori and Ria to Ana. Notable bearer: Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci.
