Alala is a rare and unique given name of Greek origin, derived from the Greek word "ἀλαλά", which means "to cry out". It is traditionally used as a female name but can also be used for males. In ancient Greek mythology, Alala was the personification of the war cry or battle cry, often depicted as a winged woman or a bird. The name is associated with strength, courage, and triumph. According to some sources, it is believed that the name may have been inspired by the sound made by the falcon, which is a bird known for its sharp and powerful cry. Alala is not typically celebrated as a day in the liturgical calendar but rather serves as an inspiring name choice for parents seeking something distinctive yet meaningful for their child.
The name Alala experienced intermittent popularity with five births each in the years 2002, 2006, and 2012, resulting in a total of fifteen births over these years.
