Alanna is a feminine form of Alan, likely derived from the Old Breton word for 'bright' or 'handsome'. In an Irish context, it is often associated with the term of endearment 'a leanbh', meaning 'O child'. It has been a steady choice for parents seeking a name that feels both Celtic and accessible.
