Alan (given Name)
Alan is a masculine given name in the English and Breton languages. Its surname form is Aland. There is consensus that in modern English and French, the name is derived from the nomadic Iranian people known as the Alans, who settled in Western Europe during the Migration Period. Etymology and early history ''Alan'' is a masculine given name in the English language. The modern English ''Alan'', and French '' Alain'', are derived from the name of the Alans. Described by Roman authors as tall, blond, and warlike, the Alans were a nomadic Iranian people who lived on the Eurasian Steppe and the Caucasus Mountains. Related to the Scythians, the Alans were known to Classical authors in the 1st century BC. The Alans settled in Western Europe in the Early Middle Ages.
