My cousin's name and a name of couple of my friends. I actually love it and if it wasn't so common here in Croatia, I'd use it. I also love the female form Alena, which is not very common and I'd use it without any troubles.

· The text there translates as: "Blessed Alen de Rotxe says: A Spanish Bishop, unable to correct the disorders in his diocese, although he did everything he could to that end, being in great distress, decided to establish the devotion to the Holy Rosary, following the example of Saint *Dominique; like that Saint, he took care to explain the mysteries of the Rosary, and to show how to meditate on them."
· This so-called "Alen de Rotxe" is no other than blessed Alan of the Rock (in French, Alain de la Roche)". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alanus_de_Rupe
