History & Origin

Aytana is a spelling of Aitana — the highest mountain in Spain's Alicante province, made a girls' name by Rafael Alberti's exile-born daughter and turbo-charged by pop star Aitana Ocaña. The y-spelling is an American flourish on the rising original.

In the U.S. it appears in Latino families. Rare, mountain-rooted, and poetically born.

Did you know? Exiled poet Rafael Alberti named his daughter Aitana in 1941 after the last Spanish mountain visible from his departing ship — the origin of the entire name.
