The story
Aleena is carried in Behind the Name's community database as a variant of Alina, and Alina is a short form of Adelina, Albina and other names with that ending, which makes Aleena a soft sound that several older names funnel into. The American records date its run precisely: about 6 girls in the 1960s, about 800 in the 1990s, about 3,100 in the 2000s, about 5,600 in the 2010s, and about 2,700 so far this decade. It rides with Alina, Elena and Alena in the long-vowel wave, one open syllable after another. Some names arrive carrying a single meaning like a sealed envelope. This one arrives as pure sound with several return addresses, and the records suggest the sound alone has been more than enough.
