Bright, shining light or from Ilium (Troy)
Iliana is a feminine name with roots in Greek, often considered a variation of the name Eliana or a derivative of the Greek word for the sun, 'helios'. It is also historically linked to Ilium, the ancient name for the city of Troy, suggesting a connection to the Trojan War epic, the Iliad. In modern usage, it is frequently embraced for its melodic, vowel-heavy sound and its association with light and brightness.
