Beautiful, graceful, or high-born
Alyannah is a modern American elaboration of Alana or Eliana. It likely draws from the Gaelic 'Alannah', meaning 'child' or 'beauty', or the Hebrew 'Eliana', meaning 'God has answered'. The 'y' and 'h' additions reflect contemporary spelling trends for a more decorative appearance.
