Ellianna
Meaning
variant of Eliana, the Romance form of the French Éliane
The story
Ellianna is a variant of Eliana, says Behind the Name, whose primary entry runs through the Romance languages as a form of the French Éliane. The records date the double-l, double-n spelling precisely: about 76 girls in the 1990s, about 880 in the 2000s, about 2,600 in the 2010s, and about 2,700 so far this decade. It arrives amid the great Ell- gathering, Ella, Ellie, Elliana, Eliana, names that share a soft opening and a lyrical finish. Four syllables played at full length, a drumroll of doubled letters, and a published American record that only begins in the 1990s: whatever else is true of the family around it, this spelling's entire published record runs from the 1990s to the present, four decade buckets and counting.
