_Surname of Allen_ (Vol. vii., p. 205.).--Perhaps A. S. A. may find the
following words in Celtic of use to him in his researches as to the origin
of the name of Allan:--_Adlann_, pronounced _all[=a]nn_, means a spearman
or lancer; _aluin_, a white hind or fawn (Query, Do any of the name bear a
hind as a crest?); _allin_, a rocky islet; _alain_, fair, bright,
fair-haired, &c.
