Beautiful flower or grace
Calianna is a modern compound name likely blending the Greek root 'kalli' (meaning beautiful) with the Latin-derived 'Anna' (meaning grace). It may also be interpreted as a variation of the Arabic name Caliana, meaning 'moorish castle'. Its usage in the United States is contemporary and rare.
