Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

Eliana

Meaning: (God has Answered, May also be related to the Greek "elios" meaning "god of the sun", and the name may thus mean "daughter of the sun". My God has Answered Me, The Lord has Responded, Sun, My God is Yahweh)

Origin: (Hebrew, Latin)

Pronunciation: (El-ee-AH-nah, eh lee AN ah)

Gender: Female

I read this name in one of the best Novels I have read in a long while. I looked up the meaning and I instantly liked it even more. This name could fit in many different novels no matter the genre. It would be nice in a Romance novel and in a Science Fiction setting in my opinion. It all depends upon where the writer takes this name and this character.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.
