Alani (Hawaiian for orange tree) became a trendy baby name in the United States in the 2010s-2020s, influenced in part by wrestler Lana (Alana) and social media personalities. Alanny is a creative spelling variant that appeals to parents wanting a unique version of this rising name.
In Hawaiian culture, alani means orange tree, representing abundance and sweetness. In Irish and Celtic traditions, the feminine Alana carries connotations of beauty and harmony.
