Lanah: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2011.
Lanah is a name of Hawaiian origin, a variant of Lana, meaning "calm as still waters" or "afloat." It’s a spelling alternative to Lana, which in English-speaking contexts also connects to the Gaelic name Alana, meaning "little rock" or "handsome." Famous bearers include Lanah Perrine, an early 20th-century American author, though the name remains rare in Scottish records. Place connections are subtle—Lana, a town in Italy, shares the same soothing sound but not the same root. For a modern touch, Lanah feels like a gentle, lyrical choice, evoking the serene Hawaiian landscape, while its Gaelic link ties it to the rugged Scottish isles, offering a peaceful name with cross-cultural charm.
