Yliana is a feminine given name of Latin origin, embraced in Spanish- and Italian-speaking communities as a melodic variant of Iliana, itself tracing back to the Greek Helene meaning “light” or “torch.” Pronounced ee-lee-AH-nuh in English (/iˈliːənə/) and ee-LYA-nah in Italian and Spanish (/iˈlja.na/), the name evokes qualities of brightness and renewal with a distinctly Latin cadence. In the United States, Yliana has maintained a consistent presence on the annual baby name charts since the late 1970s, most recently ranking 944th in 2024 with six recorded births, underscoring its niche appeal. With its blend of classical roots and contemporary melody, Yliana offers parents a name that bridges cultural tradition and modern style.
