Alanis

/əˈlænɪs/ noun

Definition

A feminine given name, most famously associated with Canadian-American singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette.

Etymology

Alanis is a modern variant of the name Alan, which derives from either Celtic roots meaning 'little rock' or 'handsome/cheerful'. The feminine form Alanis gained popularity in the late 20th century, particularly after the success of musician Alanis Morissette in the 1990s.

Kelly Says

The name Alanis became globally recognized through Alanis Morissette's 1995 album 'Jagged Little Pill,' which became one of the best-selling albums by a female artist. Interestingly, her hit song 'Ironic' sparked endless debates about whether the situations described are actually ironic - making the song itself ironically educational about the concept of irony.
