Alona is a beautiful and unique name of Hebrew origin. It means "oak tree" or "tall tree," symbolizing strength, endurance, and growth. The name Alona has been used historically among Jewish communities, particularly in Eastern Europe. However, it has gained popularity in recent years as a unisex given name around the world. Despite its Hebrew origins, Alona is not widely recognized as a biblical name and does not have any specific historical figures associated with it. Instead, its appeal lies in its distinct sound and meaningful symbolism.
The name Alona experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the past century. While it was relatively uncommon from 1917 to around 1965 with fewer than 22 births per year, there were notable spikes in popularity starting in the late 1940s and peaking in the mid-1980s with a high of 107 births in 1985. Since then, its popularity has steadily declined, with fewer than 76 births per year from 2014 onwards. Overall, Alona has been given to 3104 babies over this period.
