Name: Alan

Meaning: Derived from Old Germanic origin meaning precious, pronounced AL-an it also relates to the Gaelic “ailin” meaning little rock. Many Alans have grown up hating to be known as ‘precious little rocks’ including the famous entrepreneur Alan Sweet who made his first million selling grade B Sinclair Spectrum computers from a barrow, and Norwich's most famous son Alan Cartridge who made the transition from radio to TV with a chat-show so wholly misunderstood that one critic described it as "moribund." Alans often find themselves on the wrong side of a joke to the point that the term Alanist is now in common usage.
