Alaria, pronounced uh-LAR-ee-uh, unfurls like a soft Latin whisper, born from the word ala, “wing,” and carrying with it the promise of open skies and fearless flight. In sun-drenched plazas of ancient Rome, one can almost imagine a young poet coining this name for a muse who dances on the breeze—and today it still conjures images of guardian angels and wanderlust hearts. Though delightfully rare—only six to twelve little Alarias have made their debut most years since the late 1990s—it gently flits in and out of the U.S. top 1,000 (most recently landing around #938 in 2024). Warm and lyrical, with just a touch of whimsy, Alaria is perfect for a child destined to spread her wings—albeit after breakfast, of course—soaring onward with courage and grace.
