What is the meaning of the name Alona ?

The baby name Alona is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced ah-LOH-nah (ə-LOH-nə),ah-LYO-nah (a-LYO-na) — Slavic variant.

Alona is Hebrew, Slavic in Origin.

Alona blends two traditions. In Hebrew, it is the feminine form of Alon, "oak," used in modern Israel since the mid-20th century alongside nature-inspired revivals; the oak's strength and longevity make it a favored symbol. In the Slavic sphere (often transliterated Alyona or Aliona), it represents a familiar form of Yelena/Olena, ultimately from Greek Helene, long established across Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus.

Meanings therefore diverge: as Hebrew, "oak"; as a Helen-name, "torch, light, shining one." Variants and relatives include Alyona/Aliona/Alena, Olena, Yelena/Elena, Ilona and Helena; related Hebrew masculine forms are Alon and Elon. The spelling Alona appears in Israel and in some Ukrainian transliterations (e.g., tennis player Alona Bondarenko); it gained wider notice through Israeli actress Alona Tal. Contemporary English use is modest but growing, aided by global media and the appeal of concise, vowel-rich names.
