aliene

Aliene is a rarely used proper noun that may function as a given name, a surname, or, in some contexts, a place-name in fiction. Because it is uncommon, there is no single, widely accepted etymology. Linguists and onomastics references rarely assign a definitive origin to the spelling "Aliene"; in practice it is likely a variant or transliteration of related names from different languages, or a phonetic spelling chosen for stylistic reasons. In English-speaking contexts, it often appears as a feminine given name. In genealogical records and name databases, instances of Aliene are sparse, and regional usage varies.

Outside of personal names, "aliene" (lowercase) is commonly encountered as a misspelling of "alien" or as a fragment of a larger term in various languages. It can also appear as a fictional toponym, character name, or brand in science fiction or fantasy contexts. When encountered in text, capitalization typically identifies it as a proper noun rather than a common noun.
