Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: God has answered me; sun

Eliane is a feminine name so often attributed to the Hebrew Eliyanah, which means "God has answered me." And while being open to a divine calling would no doubt inspire a great many aspirations for baby, Eliane's Greek origin speaks to one capable of illuminating their own path. Finding likeness to the Latin name Aeliāna, from the Greek hēlios, Eliane means "sun," personifying the ancient sun god himself. Galloping across the sky on a chariot of fire, Helios would bring dawn to dusk and with it bursts of clarity, energy, and vitality. All in all, Eliane marks a capable, determined being whose power and virtue will light up the world.
