The name Alula is a girl's name of Arabic origin meaning "first leap". Alula and is often added to lists like Space Baby Names and discussed in our forums with posts like "Picky Parents BNG".

From the experts:

Alula, the palindromic name of the first double star to be identified as physically related to its twin, would make the perfect name for a first-born twin. Ideas (we're only half joking) for the second born: Aviva, Aziza, Otto. Alula is reminiscent of the unusual name chosen by Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen for their second daughter: Elula, a month name from the Hebrew calendar.
