The story

Elliana is a name assembled in plain sight. The base is Eliana, read in Hebrew as my God has answered; the double L folds in the sound of Ella. The result feels antique but is genuinely new: sixteen girls in the 1980s, under two hundred in the 1990s, then about 2,800 in the 2000s, 12,200 in the 2010s, and roughly 12,800 so far this decade, already past the full 2010s count. Two honest details from our records. First, the spelling family runs deep. Eliana, Elliana and Aliana all chart separately, so the shared sound is much bigger than any one line admits. Second, in the entire record not a single boy has ever been logged under this spelling, which makes Elliana one of the most one-sided names we track. Most families shorten the four syllables to Ellie and save the full name for birthdays.

Births in the department of Montevideo (not all of Uruguay) by first name and year of birth, 1940–2011, from the city’s civil registry, which writes names in capitals, almost always without accents; counted as spelling groups (accent and punctuation variants merged), nothing is withheld at source, and 2012 is excluded as a partial year.

Poland

last on record 2024

Elliana is not on the 2025 record for Poland, where names given fewer than 2 times in a year are withheld at source.
The count never rose above 3 in a year, too few to chart.

First names given to children born in Poland by year of birth, 2000–2025, from the PESEL population register (Ministry of Digital Affairs); exact spellings count separately (Łukasz and Lukasz are different names), names given fewer than 5 times in a year were left off the list through 2012 and fewer than 2 times from 2013, and the register also counts children born abroad, so its yearly sums run above Poland’s live births.
