Ilianna is a feminine name of Greek origin. This name likely finds its roots in the Greek hēlios or Helen, which means "ray of light" or "sun." In Greek mythology, Helen is considered the most beautiful woman in the world. Her radiance, and elopement with Paris of Troy, sparked the Trojan War. Ilianna may also derive from Hebrew Ilana, meaning "tree," so if baby's born during the Jewish holiday of the New Year of the Trees, even better. Your Ilianna will be a ray of sunshine from dawn to dusk and grow strong like a mighty sequoia!
