Elanna is a feminine name with Hebrew, Greek, and French roots to attach baby to the beauty of the earth. Coming from the French Elaine and Greek Helen, this name translates to “sun ray,” “torch,” and “light.” Very few things are vital like the life-enhancing warmth of the sun, and this name will always help baby’s spirit stay just as vibrant and fiery. Elanna may also come from the Hebrew name Elon or Ilan, translating to “tree.” As baby spends their time relaxing under tree branches or taking in sun rays, the name Elanna will always help them feel one with the world.
