Ilana
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Ilana: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1995.
Ilana has deep Hebrew roots, meaning "tree" or "oak tree" in that language, and is the feminine form of Ilan. It is also sometimes considered a variant of Elena, though the Hebrew origin is most prominent for English and Scottish speakers. Among its famous bearers are comedian and actress Ilana Glazer, co-creator of *Broad City*, and Ilana Kloss, the former world number one in doubles tennis. The name shares a linguistic ancestor with the biblical Elah, an oak tree, and also appears in modern place-naming, such as Ilana Bay in Israel. A notable variant is Ilanit, a common Hebrew feminine form, while Ilana itself has become increasingly recognised internationally, offering a nature-inspired yet distinctly melodic choice.
