Other possible origins include the Irish Gaelic ailin, meaning 'little rock'. The name's use in Irish probably derives from the phrase a leanbh, which was used to call a child. In Hawaiian it means 'calm as still waters' or 'afloat'.

In the English-speaking world, the name was popularized by actress Lana Turner.
