Aitana is a modern Spanish feminine name most often connected to the Sierra de Aitana, a mountain range in Alicante whose toponym has uncertain origins.

The name gained visibility when poet Rafael Alberti and María Teresa León named their daughter Aitana in 1941, and it rose sharply across Spain from the 1980s onward, spreading to Latin America and into international charts in the 21st century. Notable bearers include actress Aitana Sánchez-Gijón and pop singer Aitana. Variants and spellings include Aytana and Aitanna; short forms include Tana and Tai. The name is pronounced eye-TAH-nah in Spanish.
