Liane
Girl name · 76 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Liane: 76 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 10 births in 1981.
Liane is a French name stemming from *liane*, meaning "vine" or "climbing plant," and it also serves as a variant of Liana, a short form of Juliana or Eliana. The most famous bearer today is Australian author Liane Moriarty, whose bestselling novels like *Big Little Lies* have captivated readers worldwide. In earlier decades, Austrian silent film star Liane Haid brought the name glamour on screen. While no major place carries the name directly, its botanical root connects it to the lush, winding vines of woodlands and gardens. The spelling Liane, with its elegant French form, remains less common than the simpler Liana, giving it a quietly distinctive, nature-inspired charm that appeals to parents seeking something both familiar and unusual.
