Quiana

Meaning of Quiana

Pronounced kee-AH-nuh (/kiˈanə/), Quiana feels as smooth and luminous as the silky DuPont fabric that first introduced the name into mid-century American life, yet it carries a whisper of Hawaiian charm in its echo of Kiana, often understood to mean “divine.” While it never stormed the national charts, this softly flowing name won a warm following in Louisiana during the late ’70s and early ’80s—peaking around rank 111 in 1978 and hovering in the top 130 through 1984—proof that its melodic roll and gentle strength struck a chord with southern parents. With its inviting rhythm and subtle elegance, Quiana offers a playful, timeless choice for families seeking a name that feels both modern and memorably graceful.
