Allain (male)

Variants:Alan (M) Allan (M)
   
Source(s): "Scottish Forenames" - Donald Whyte, FGH, FSG
Notes:

English and French form of Alan/Allan.

It is apparently debatable whether Alan/Allan was from the Gaelic, "rock" or "noble" or was brought to Britain by the Normans as a variant of Allain.
