Elianna is Hannah's devotional cousin. A Hebrew compound built from Eli, "my God," and the root of Anna, "grace" — together read as "God has answered me" — the name surfaces in modern Israeli families and among American parents hunting for something more elaborate than Ella or Anna but still familiar. It entered the US top 1000 in 2009 and climbed quickly to 262, part of the wave of four-syllable feminine names (Gianna, Ariana, Isabella) that now dominates girl naming. The rolling open vowels, the softened double N. Romantic, faintly scriptural, distinctly contemporary. A name designed to be sung across a backyard.
