Alana, Alanna, Alannah, or other variants, is a female given name. It is latinized feminine form of Alan and its usage is relatively modern. The Alannah spelling was possibly influenced by biblical spelling of the Hebrew names such as Hannah and Susannah, or influenced by the Anglo-Irish term of endearment alannah, from the Gaelic a leanbh "O child".
