Allanah is Irish in Origin.
Allanah is a modern spelling of Alannah/Alana, a feminine name with two intertwined sources. In Ireland it is linked to the Gaelic endearment a leanbh (vocative for “child”), giving the affectionate sense “darling child.” More broadly it can serve as the feminine of Alan, a Breton name introduced to Britain by the Normans and borne by medieval saints; scholars connect Alan to Celtic elements interpreted as “rock,” “harmony,” or “handsome,” so Allanah often carries a general meaning of cherished or fair.
As a given name, Allanah appears chiefly in Anglophone countries from the late 20th century, with the Alannah spelling prominent in Ireland, the U.K., Canada, and Australia; pop-cultural visibility includes Canadian singer Alannah Myles. Variant spellings include Alannah, Alanna, Alana, Alanah, and Allana; related forms are Alanis and Alaina. Common nicknames are Allie, Lana, Lani, and Ana.
