Alanda, of Latin origin, is a unique and uncommon female given name. It is derived from the Latin word 'ala', meaning 'wing'. This gives it a connection to liberty and flight. The name Alanda has gained popularity in recent years, perhaps due to its distinctive sound and its association with strength and independence.
Alanda was a popular name among parents in the late 1940s to the early 1960s, with peaks in births occurring in those decades. However, its popularity began to decline after the mid-1960s, with fewer than 20 births per year recorded between 1975 and 2012. The name experienced another small peak in the late 1980s and early 1990s but has since seen a steady decrease in usage. Overall, there were 731 babies named Alanda born between 1946 and 2012.
