ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

The name has an unusually well-documented personal origin story: poet Rafael Alberti named his daughter after the Sierra de Aitana mountain range because it was the last sight of his home country he had before he fled into exile after the Spanish Civil War in 1939-1941.

Sierra de Aitana (Spanish place name). The name entered use through a specific, documented act of personal naming rather than long-standing tradition: Spanish poet Rafael Alberti named his daughter, Aitana Alberti León (b. 1941), after the Sierra de Aitana, his last view of his home country before he went into exile following the Spanish Civil War.
