Lannah

Lannah is a contemporary feminine name that appears to be a variation of Lana or Alana, with the added 'h' creating a more elaborate ending. The name Lana has Slavic origins meaning "light" or "bright one," while Alana is the feminine form of Alan, meaning "handsome" or "cheerful" from Celtic roots. Lannah combines these pleasant meanings with a distinctive spelling that emphasizes the soft final sound. This name emerged in the 2000s as part of the trend toward names with familiar sounds but unique spellings. Though still relatively uncommon, Lannah appeals to parents seeking a name that feels both modern and accessible. The name projects a gentle, luminous quality and offers an alternative to more commonly used names like Hannah or Lana.

Pronounced LAN-uh.
