First appearance
1880

In the first year the SSA published name data, Alla was already there! It came in at #738, and was given to 6 baby girls.


Quietest stretch: 1882–1886, when fewer than 6 girls a year got the name.

Where Alla is popular in 1939

No state had 5 or more girls named Alla in 1939, so the SSA doesn't publish it for any state.
