[Facts] Re: Question about the name Elana

a message by Elzic
It's a variant of
Ilana
. I don't think that it could mean "God answered" because the vowels in the two different "el" sounds (ELana and
EL
) are different. Elana uses an "ee" sound in the Hebrew, whereas
El
uses a vowel that's more like "ehl."
