Light, torch, or bright one
Alenia is likely a modern elaboration of Elena or Alena, which are derivatives of the Greek name Helen. It carries the same association with radiance and light, often interpreted as a torch or a shining beacon. While rare, it follows the popular trend of melodic, multi-syllabic names ending in -ia.
