Alanea Origin and Meaning

The name Alanea is a girl's name.

Alanea is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be an elaborated form of Alana (the feminine version of Alan), which has Celtic roots meaning "harmony" or "little rock." Alternatively, it could be related to the Hawaiian name Alana, meaning "awakening" or "precious." The name has a melodious quality with its flowing vowels, giving it an elegant, contemporary feel. Though relatively uncommon, Alanea gained modest recognition in the United States during the late 20th century as parents sought unique variations of more traditional names. The addition of the "ea" ending lends the name a gentle, feminine quality while maintaining connections to the stronger, more established Alan/Alana name family.
