Meaning & origin

First recorded in the U.S. in 1934, Lianne has never been a top-tier name but has maintained steady use. Its 1986 peak year saw the highest number of births, and since 2006 it has been rising again, with a recent rank of 7,133 in 2025. One in 107,151 girls receives the name, making it a distinctive pick among modern compound creations. Lianne's combination of classic elements (Lee and Anne) gives it a familiar yet fresh feel.

Lianne is a modern English name, likely a blend of Lee and Anne, or a variant of Liana, which derives from the French 'liane' meaning 'to twine.'
