History & Origin
Alnita is among the rarest names in this group and its origin is uncertain. The most reasonable reading treats it as an elaboration of Anita or Juanita, Spanish diminutives of Ana and Juana, from Hebrew Hannah, 'grace' or 'favor'. It may equally be a pure coinage assembled from the Al- and -nita sounds; the honest answer is that no single root is documented.
Alnita appears only as a faint scattering, most visible around the nineteen-seventies and never more than a handful of girls a year. It has a soft, Latina-tinged sound; with no settled etymology and no revival, it reads as a genuine mid-century rarity or coinage.
