About the name Eliane
The Dicionário de Nomes em Uso no Brasil (Dictionary of Names in Use in Brazil) analyzes Eliane as Eli- + -ane. The element -ane comes from French -anne, a formative of feminine names; the origin of Eli-, however, is doubtful, perhaps linked to Eliel, 'God (is) high'. Wiktionary gives French Éliane as coming from Latin Aeliana, the feminine of the family name Aelius, and also from Hebrew Eli'Anah, literally 'my God has answered me', and Behind the Name also gives 'probably' Aeliana. Because the explanations differ, the meaning is not known with certainty. In the 2022 Census, IBGE recorded 323,149 people named Eliane, with a peak among those born in the 1970s; proportionally, the name is most common in Paraná. Heliane is the spelling with an initial H.
