Alarna is in Origin.

Alarna is a rare modern English feminine name, most visible in the UK and Australia from the late 20th century onward. It likely arose as an embellished form of Alana/Alannah with an inserted r, perhaps also echoing Larna or literary Lorna, rather than from a single older source. With no medieval or biblical record, its history is tied to contemporary naming fashions favoring lyrical, vowel-rich endings.

Meaning is therefore inherited from its closest relatives. Alana/Alannah derives either from the Breton/Irish name Alan - linked by some to Irish ailín “little rock,” and by others to “handsome, cheerful” - or from Irish a leanbh, “darling child”; in Hawaiian, Alana can mean “awakening; offering.” Parents choosing Alarna often embrace these readings. Near variants and cognates include Alana, Alannah, Alaina, Alayna, Larna, and Lorna; nicknames such as Ali, Lana, Lara, or Arna are used.
