Alastryanah is in Origin.

Alastryanah is a modern, ornamental elaboration of the Gaelic Alastríona/Alastriona, the feminine counterpart to Alastar/Alasdair (Gaelic forms of Alexander). Through this lineage it ultimately derives from Greek Alexandros, combining alexein “to defend” and anēr/andros “man,” yielding the meaning “defender of mankind” or “protector of people.” The inserted -y- and final -ah give the name a contemporary, lyrical cadence while preserving the core Alexander meaning.

It has no deep historical record under this exact spelling, but it sits within the long Alexander/Alasdair/Alastríona tradition. Variant spellings include Alastryana, Alastryanna, Alastriana, Alastriona, and Alastríona; related classics are Alexandra and Alessandra.
