My God has answered; or a tropical vine
Liani is often considered a variant of the Hebrew name Eliani, meaning 'my God has answered me.' In a different context, it is associated with the liana, a long-stemmed, woody vine that climbs through tropical rainforests. It is a modern, melodic choice that blends spiritual roots with a botanical connection.
