About the name Eliene
Soledade's dictionary analyzes Eliene as Eli- + -ene, and its morpheme list includes it among the Brazilian names formed with Eli-. The origin of Eli- is doubtful: it may come from Eli, an abbreviation of the biblical name Eliel, 'God (is) high', or from a fragment of names such as Eliane and Eliete.
