Alanda Origin and Meaning

The name Alanda is a girl's name meaning " little rock or child + loveable; noble land".

Alanda is a name with a number of possible origins, one being that it is an English smoosh name, combining Amanda with an Ala- name such as Alan or Alannah. It could also be an Afrikaans name, likely inspired by the Dutch Aland, which itself derives from the Germanic Adalland meaning "noble land".

Other theories include that it's a contracted form of Alexandra, a variation of Yolanda, or a form of the Arabic Ala ad-Din or Alanoud.
