Allura is a striking and unique feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from 'altera', meaning 'the other'. It gained prominence through its association with Princess Allura, the heroine in the animated series 'Voltron: Defender of the Universe', which has contributed to its popularity in recent years. The name possesses an elegant ring, ending with a soft and melodic 'a' sound, making it a charming choice for parents seeking a distinctive name for their daughter.
The name Allura experienced a significant surge in popularity among parents starting from the late 1980s to early 2000s, with peaks in the years 1997 (20 births), 1999 (27 births), and 2004 (35 births). However, its usage has since declined, with fewer than 25 births per year occurring since 2016.
