Morphology

Gloriana = Gloria (semi-transparent) = Gloria + ana

Formed by adding the name-forming suffix 'ana' to the proper name 'Gloria'; the connection to 'glory' is visible but, as a proper name, the meaning is largely nominal and not a productive English derivation.

Etymology

Gloriana comes from the Latin root gloria, meaning 'glory', and the feminine ending -ana, which shows 'related to'. So Gloriana can be remembered as a 'woman of glory', which is why it is used as a poetic and elegant given name.
