Eliana: U.S. name history
Published Social Security birth-name counts for the exact spelling Eliana in the female recorded field, 1880–2025.
In the latest file, Eliana was at position 10 among published female-field spellings, with 8,191 recorded births. That is up 1,744 from 6,447 in 2024. Its first released row in this archive is from 1961; a missing earlier row does not establish when the name began to exist.
What the historical pattern shows
Eliana first has a released female-field row in 1961. It remained well outside the top 500 in 2000, moved to position 168 in 2010, and then continued rising through the 2020s.
The 2025 file is a milestone for this exact spelling: tenth position and the largest annual count in the archived series. A first published year is only a disclosure threshold in the SSA data, so it should never be presented as the name's invention date.

*Position is calculated from the published entries in one year and field, ordered by count; it is not an official SSA rank. Counts are not adjusted for population or coverage. SSA suppresses small cells, so no row does not mean zero births.
