History & Origin

Alanda is best read as an American elaboration of Alana, the Irish feminine of Alan (given variously as 'little rock', 'handsome', or 'harmony'), fitted with a '-nda' ending that also rings against Yolanda, 'violet flower'. The result is a soft, flowing three-beat name.

It belongs to the later twentieth century and stayed rare, only a few dozen girls a year around its 1976 high. We read it honestly as a melodic coinage on the Alana/Yolanda pattern.

Did you know? It sits between Alana and Yolanda, a gently invented blend of two attractive sounds.
