About Alula
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.
Alula is also given to boys.
Pronounced AHL-oo-lah.
As of October 2026, Alula ranked #11122 in US births in 2024 SSA, peaked at #6645 in 2020.
