Alla ({{langx|ru|А́лла}}) is a Russian and Ukrainian female given name.
The Eastern Orthodox Church usually relates the name with {{Interlanguage link|Алла Готфская|lt=Saint Alla|ru}},[http://www.oca.org/FSLivesAllSaintsPrint.asp?M=3&D=26 Martyr Alla the laywoman in the Crimea] on the page: Lives of all saints commemorated on March 26 the widow of a Gothic chieftain, martyred in King Athanaric's times. Since the name is also spread among Tatars, there is some speculation that the name has its origin in the pre-Islamic goddess Allat. The name Alla is also widespread in Iceland.
