Alano

Meaning of Alano

Alano carries the rich heritage of the ancient Celtic name Alan, embraced by Spanish and Italian tongues as uh-LAH-noh, and translates loosely to “little rock” or “handsome”—a fitting badge for any curious little guy. With fewer than ten newborn Alanos arriving each year in the U.S., it’s a name that quietly stands out in the playground without shouting for attention. It has the feel of a sun-warmed vineyard in Tuscany, yet slips easily off the tongue at a backyard barbecue—versatile, warm, and subtly adventurous. Parents who choose Alano are gifting their son a gentle reminder of strength wrapped in friendliness, a name as ready for storytelling by the campfire as it is for lunchtime chats at preschool. If you’re after something unique but approachable, Alano might just be the perfect fit.
