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.

Not on the record in Mexico City, Argentina and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
