History & Origin

Allana is a double-l feminine of Alan — from a Celtic root meaning 'little rock' or 'harmony' — that also brushes the Irish endearment a leanbh ('O child, darling'). It joins Alana, Alanna, and Alannah in a much-loved family.

In the U.S. it appears across Irish-heritage and general families. Uncommon, steady at the root, and softly affectionate.
