Alla (female name)

Alla (А́лла) is a Russian and Ukrainian female given name.

The Eastern Orthodox Church usually relates the name with, the widow of a Gothic chieftain, martyred in King Athanaric's times. Since the name is also spread among Tatars, there is some speculation that the name has its origin in the pre-Islamic goddess Allat. The name Alla is also widespread in Iceland.
