What does the name Aliana mean?
Aliana is a modern girls' name whose origin is not documented. Wiktionary records it as a given name without an etymology. It looks like a blend of familiar name sounds, perhaps Ali- (as in Alina or Alia) with the ending -ana, or a variant of Eliana or Liana, but no source we checked confirms any of these. US records show it from the late 1970s. Because several unrelated names could lie behind it, we do not give Aliana a meaning of its own.
How sure is this? Not documented. No documented etymology; resemblance to other names is not evidence.
Related names: Eliana, Alina, Liana, Alia.
