Precious; child; or awakening
A variant of Alana, this name likely stems from the Old Breton word 'alan' meaning 'precious' or the Gaelic 'ailin' meaning 'little rock'. In an Irish context, it is often associated with the term of endearment 'a leanbh' meaning 'O child'. The double 'l' and double 'n' spelling is a modern elaboration of the more traditional Alana.
