Allanna

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Allanna: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1992.

Allanna is a graceful Scottish variant of Alana or Alanna, the feminine form of the ancient Celtic name Alan. The root meaning is debated, likely "little rock" or "harmony," and it has been a beloved choice in Scotland for decades. While no prominent historical figures bear the exact spelling Allanna, the name shares its lineage with Saint Alane, a 6th-century Cornish hermit, and the widely used Alan has been borne by Scottish kings and clan chiefs. The name does not have a strong direct place connection, but the root appears in various place names across Scotland, such as the River Allan.
