Hi !!!
I have three possibilieties..
1 -ana end derives from the Latin suffix ana (like the name Maryana > Mariana) or similar cases (Matryona < Matrona)
2 -lana as a generally Slavic suffix (Milan > Milena, Oksana)
3 a contraction of the Turkish name Arslan which means "lion" as in the case of Ruslana (Ruslana < Ruslan < Yeruslan < Arslan). In this case this name could mean "bright lion" I guess.
