Alassane is a male given name of West African origin, particularly common among the Wolof people of Senegal and The Gambia. Derived from Arabic roots, it is composed of two elements: "Ali" which means 'elevated' or 'exalted', and "Sané", an honorific title often translated as 'peace'. Therefore, the name Alassane can be interpreted to mean 'elevated in peace'. This name has been carried by notable figures such as Alassane Ouédraogo, the former Prime Minister of Burkina Faso.
The name Alassane has seen varying popularity over the years, with a total of 137 children being born with this name between 1999 and 2023. The peak years for this name were 2008 and 2012, each having 12 and 10 births respectively. However, it's notable that there was a gap in recorded births from 2005 to 2015 before the name started gaining popularity again after 2020.
