Aitana

Aitana belongs to a mountain range in Spain's Alicante province, its peak rising dry and blue above the Valencian coast. The poet Rafael Alberti named his daughter after it in 1941, and Spanish-speaking parents have been following ever since. In the United States, Aitana entered the top 500 in the late 2010s and has been climbing quickly, buoyed by the Spanish pop singer of the same name. Three syllables with the stress on the second, it sounds like a place you might hike toward. Earthy, sunlit, and firmly of the Spanish tradition without feeling transplanted.
