It is a unisex name, popular among Ethiopia's Orthodox Christians who often give it to their children in honor of the Virgin Mary's appearance as a sun-ray. The name Solyana has been increasingly adopted globally, attributed perhaps to its radiant meaning and melodic sound.
The name Solyana has seen varied popularity over the years, with peaks in 2011 and 2021, and a noticeable decline since 2016.
