Unknown; likely a modern blend of Teri and Ana
Teriana is a modern American invention, likely created by combining the name Teri (a diminutive of Theresa, meaning 'to harvest') with the popular suffix -ana (meaning 'grace'). It follows the late 20th-century trend of elaborate, melodic feminine name construction. Because it is a contemporary coinage, it lacks a singular historical etymology.
