Meaning & History
This given name is predominantly used in South America. In the Spanish-speaking countries of that continent, it is probably a combination of a name starting with Eli- (such as Elisa) with a name ending in -ander (such as Alexander). After all, it is fairly common in especially Latin-American countries for parents to give their child a name that is a combination of their own names. Also compare Elián and Eliandro.As for Brazil: Eliander is usually a short form of Elianderson there, though of course the explanation described above is possible in Brazil as well.
