Alo Yoga, a trendy athleisure brand, inspired five sets of parents to use their name for daughters in 2022. According to the brand, Alo was named for Air, Land, and Ocean.

The name Alo is a boy's name meaning "beginning; defender of men".

Originating from the historical Baltic region of Livonia, Alo is used in modern-day Estonia as a diminutive of Aleksander and as a word-inspired name, deriving from <em>alustus</em>, meaning "beginning". Elsewhere, Alo has been used as a short form of Aloysius and is also a Native American name of Hopi origin, meaning "spiritual guide" or "look up".
