Aleta
Rooted in Greek, Aleta is a girl's name that means "Greek, one who wanders". It was at its most popular in the 1950s and is rarely chosen now. As things stand now, it is a rare find in the registry. Few names stick around this long: it shows up across almost the entire twelve-decade span this registry covers.
