This name is very pretty, seems like a variant form of the name Emilia.

Emiliana Perfetti (known as Geraldine Royer in the Japanese translation) is a criminal analyst and Katrielle's friend and rival in the video game Layton's Mystery Journey, and anime Layton Mystery Detective Agency. She is also one of the few characters of color in the Layton series.
It's pronounced like Emiliano, but with an a at the end instead of an o. It is not pronounced like Emily + Ana. I have a daughter with this name, and have received nothing but compliments. The adjectives I've gotten most often are unique, fun, upper class, refined, different without being weird, and Old World. Emiliana Torrington and Emiliana Cantone are both singers with this name. There is also St. Emiliana.
I think Emiliana is one of the "best kept secrets" of names. It's incredibly rare but has so much class and doesn't strike you as being strange or odd.
