I love this spelling because it's the Gaelic spelling. We're part Irish and we love the fact that the name is Irish also. It's very manly to me.
This is a variant of the name Alan, which is the name of a Welsh and Breton saint. It may come from the Celtic word alun, meaning "harmony." It may also be derived from ailín, a Celtic word meaning "little rock."
