  2. In Arabic, Liana (?????) comes from the word Leen (???)
    meaning “soft” and “tender”, this meaning can be related to other names like Leen, Layan, or Lina.

  9. My husband mentioned the name, I liked it. Then my sister and I were searching meanings of names, Liana means “God has answered” in Hebrew. We battled infertility and with natural support from an amazing physician we conceived our sweet tiny girl! Answered prayers.

  10. The meaning: God has answered ?

    While Liana is our 3rd child it was not an easy road getting to our sweet little rainbow angel. We experienced a couple heart breaking losses along the journey but God is faithful and we are in awe of His sovereignty. We welcome Liana Joy with love. ?
