Honey or industrious; combination of Melanie and Eliana
Meliana is a modern melodic name likely created as a blend of the Greek Melanie, meaning dark or honey, and the Hebrew Eliana, meaning God has answered. It carries a lyrical quality common in contemporary Latinate names. While rare, it fits the current trend for multi-syllabic names ending in -iana.
