Oriana

Oriana is a beautifully poetic name with roots that trace back to both Italian and Celtic origins. In Italian, it means 'golden', tying it to images of brightness and the first light of day. This elegant name was notably used in the Renaissance for female protagonists in literature, adding a touch of historical drama. Oriana has remained relatively rare, making it a unique choice for parents who are drawn to names that are both sophisticated and uncommon. You might encounter Ori as a nickname, and for those who love similar names, Ariana or Aurelia might be alternative options.
