Little rock or awakening
Alauna is a name with multiple potential etymological roots. In a Celtic context, it is associated with an ancient river goddess and the word for 'little rock.' It is also considered a modern variation of Alana or Alanna, which may derive from the Gaelic 'ailin' or the Old High German word for 'awakening' or 'precious.'
