Re: Question about the name Elana
in reply to a message by Elzic
It's a variant of Ilana. I don't think that it could mean "God answered" because the vowels in the two different "el" sounds (ELana and EL) are different. Elana uses an "ee" sound in the Hebrew, whereas El uses a vowel that's more like "ehl."
