History & Origin

Aliena sits between two readings: a modern variant of Aliana or Aleena in the fashionable Ali- family, and the Latin word aliena ('foreign, other'), which Shakespeare borrowed as Celia's alias in As You Like It. Which a family intends is uncertain, which we note.

It has always been rare, given to only about fifteen girls a year at its peak in the early twenty-tens. An Aliena from that time is still a child or young teen today.

Did you know? Shakespeare gave the name a literary cameo: in As You Like It, Celia disguises herself under the name Aliena, from the Latin for 'stranger.'
