Meaning: Glory; Favor; Grace

Pure and graceful, your little Gloryanna is the very picture of innocence. Gloryanna is thought to originate from "Gloriana," a title once given to Queen Elizabeth I, who was often portrayed as a virgin goddess. In the 16th century, Elizabeth I was revered as a powerful and glorious ruler, celebrated in many works of art and literature, including Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene." As a variant of Gloria, which means "glory" in Latin, and combined with Anna, meaning "favor" or "grace" in Hebrew, Gloryanna creates a beautiful connection to a universal power sought by many and held by few.
