Meaning of the name Alyaana

Question

What is the meaning of the name ILyana/ILyaana? Is this an arabic Mulsim name?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

We could not locate the name Alyaana in the Arabic language. However, according to some websites, the name Alyaana is of Hebrew origin and means bright or beautiful.[1]

It is suitable for one to keep the name Alyaana, but it is not advisable. We advise that the names of the Anbiyaa, Sahaba and pious elders be kept.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
