Meaning

a Spanish place name, from the Sierra de Aitana mountain range in Alicante

Famously borne by Ballon d'Or winner Aitana Bonmatí.

The story

María Teresa León remembered mountains covered in almond trees on a journey from Alicante to Ibiza. Later, writing her memoir, she wondered whether that landscape had helped her and Rafael Alberti choose Aitana for their daughter. Aitana takes its name from a mountain range in eastern Spain. Their daughter was born in Buenos Aires in 1941, during the family's exile after the Spanish Civil War. The place name crossed into a family's daily speech far from the landscape itself. León wrote that whenever they spoke to their child, they were naming the mountain range, which they had not seen again. The memory has the scale of a whole landscape and the intimacy of a parent calling a daughter. A place out of reach was still present in the ordinary words of home.
