Allean Origin and Meaning
The name Allean is a girl's name.
Allean is a feminine name that likely developed as a variant spelling of Aileen or Eileen, both derived from the Gaelic name Eibhlín, a form of Helen meaning 'light' or 'torch.' The distinctive spelling with double 'l' and 'ea' vowel combination gives the name a Southern American flavor, where such phonetic spellings became customary. Allean saw modest usage in the United States during the early to mid-20th century, particularly in rural communities. The name has a gentle, vintage quality with its soft sounds and flowing syllables. While uncommon today, Allean represents a tradition of adapting traditional names with distinctive spellings to create something familiar yet individual.
