The name Alani is either a variant of the name Alana, meaning "little rock," or derived from the Hawaiian element 'alani, meaning "orange tree" or "orange fruit," making it a unique nature name for a baby girl. It's the name former "Survivor" winner Earl Cole gave his daughter in 2019, whom he shares with wife Shelley Lee. It first appeared in the Social Security's top 1,000 in 2003 and entered the top 200 for the first time in 2021. You can also go with Alanis, as in singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette, to make it more unique.
