I like Gloriana way better than Gloria. It's prettier. I also like Glory and Glorianne.

Queen Elizabeth I was often referred to as Gloriana. She was also called the Virgin Queen. Don't blame me, I'm doing on project on her for school. xD

The 16th century English poet Edmund Spenser gave this name to a character representing Queen Elizabeth I in the poem 'The Faerie Queen' and it became a popular name for her. After the defeat of the Spanish Armada the troops greeted Queen Elizabeth I with cries of Gloriana, Gloriana, Gloriana!

This is a pretty, more updated form of Gloria.

The page says that Gloria first appeared in 1891, Gloriana in 1590. Gloriana preceded Gloria by 300 yeas! So how can Gloriana be an elaboration of the name Gloria? I think it would be more accurate to say that Gloriana is an elaboration of the Latin word for glory and that Gloria was a later shortening of Gloriana. [noted -ed]
