Lanae

Meaning of Lanae

Lanae is an American-born twist on the timeless name Lana, merging a soft –e ending for an extra touch of flair. Rooted in Old Gaelic for “little rock” and sometimes linked to the Slavic word for “light,” it evokes a sense of gentle strength and radiant warmth. Pronounced luh-NAY, its melodious two syllables dance off the tongue like a summer breeze and settle in the mind like the glow of a sunset. While it’s never topped the charts—hovering around the 900th spot in recent years—it nails that perfect balance of fresh without feeling unfamiliar. Effortlessly versatile, Lanae fits a curious bookworm, a spirited playground leader or a budding artist, making it an inspired choice for any little girl destined to shine.
