Allani is in Origin.

Allani is a rare feminine name with deep ancient Near Eastern roots. It derives from the Hurrian theonym Allani, the queen of the underworld, whose cult spread into Hittite and Akkadian contexts; in Mesopotamian texts she often appears as Allatum (or Allatu) and could be associated with Ereshkigal. References to Allani occur in second‑millennium BCE ritual and treaty tablets from Anatolia and northern Syria, though the name was not used for mortals in antiquity.

The precise Hurrian etymology is uncertain, but scholars commonly gloss Allani as “the Lady,” expressing sovereignty over the netherworld. As a modern given name it remains very uncommon, chosen for its archaic, mythic resonance. Variant spellings include Allanie and Alannie; a short form Lani is possible. Note that single‑L Alani has separate Hawaiian and Gaelic derivations, and Allani should not be confused with the unrelated Arabian goddess al-Lat.
