Alane — girls' name

What the Data Says About Alane

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,664 babies named Alane between 1940 and 2022, spanning 83 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Alane currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2022. The name reached its historical peak in 1964, when 97 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Alane performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 652 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Alane shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 110 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Pennsylvania. In total, SSA state-level files list Alane in 13 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Alane in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 1,664 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
