Just found this name on a site that means God has answered/ray of light. I actually really like it and thought could nickname Elle/Ellie?

Would love all your thoughts as so helpful x

It sounds Eastern European to me but is quite pretty. I’m not a huge fan of Elle or Ella though.

I've heard of a few Eliana's. Nothing wrong with it 😊 if you like it, go for it. (But personally, I wouldn't shorten it.)

I like it , just to add to the pot Ileana which is also very pretty

Awful sorry. And she will be yet another Ellie Ella of which there are hundreds

I hate it. Sorry OP. The only ones I have known have spelled it Ellieanna which is like they couldn't choose between Ellie and Anna so went for both. Spelled as you have it is much nicer but the Ellieanna's have ruined it for me. Also Ellie (Ella too) is really popular where I live, from the 17 year old all the way down there seem to be some in every class.

We are calling our daughter Eliana! We love it as its so musical and elegant sounding. It’s slightly more unusual too, without being outlandish or cumbersome sounding.
We were stuck on Ellie for a while (nothing seems to go with our surname) but I don’t like cutesy nicknamey names as a child’s given name. So we are going with Eliana, to be known as Ellie by DSD, who now cannot suffer her sister to be called anything else! Grin

I love it, really.
