Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Iliana je grécka a bulharská ženská podoba mena Ilias, respektíve Ilija. Tieto mená vychádzajú z hebrejského mena Elijahu (אֵלִיָּהוּ), ktorého význam je „môj Boh je Jahve“. Spájanie mena Iliana s gréckym slovom hélios (ἥλιος – „slnko“) alebo s menom Helena nie je etymologicky podložené.
