Oriana is primarily a female given name, widespread, even if not very common, in European languages. ==Possible roots of the name== There is the Latin meaning of ''rising'' (as in sunrise; see a similar word root in Orient). Things get even more complicated as in the languages of the Iberian peninsula, namely Spanish and Portuguese, there is the medieval ''Oroana'' or ''Ouroana'', from ''Oro'' or ''Ouro'' meaning Gold, whose origin is the Latin ''Aurum'', and whose root, ''Aur'', may be related to ''Ori''. Variants include ''Orianna'', ''Oriane'' or ''Orianne''. Sometimes ''Orian, Oreste'' or ''Dorian'' may be a male given name or a family name, as in the case of ''Orian, Orians, Oriani, Dorian'' or ''Doria.'' Oriana was the nickname for Queen Elizabeth I. She was fondly known as 'our glorious Oriana' and the Oriana madrigals were written for her. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oriana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
