I knew someone named Liana who grew up in Hawaii (Oahu). You say Liana exactly as it’s spelled, with the ‘i’ pronounced as a hard ‘e’ as in ‘tree,’ not a soft ‘e’ as in ‘leg.’ The ‘a’ (both) are pronounced like an ‘ah’. So all together, it’s like saying lee-ah-nah.

Maybe it's just Liana, it's possible because all the letters in it are being used in Hawaiian.

A liana is a kind of creeper or vine. Perhaps you could find out the equivalent to that in Hawaiian.Jorelle sounds like a version of Jor-El, Superman's father.

Liana . . .There is probably no Hawaiian translation for 'Liana'. The majority of Hawaiian translation names are either Biblical names or names that are very common in English-speaking countries. Liana is neither.I have never heard of the name Jorelle before, and it has never ranked within the top 1000 names in the US. A quick Google search seems to indicate that Jorelle is the brand name of a wooden toys company in France, but that is all I've been able to discover.
