i am not sure if this will help, The Oxford Names Companion does not show this name the closest you get is ALAIN which is the french form of ALAN which is English and Scottish of Celtic origin and uncertain derivation( possibly a diminutive of a word meaning "rock" Galec = "Ail"). You will be glad to know there is no connection to ELAINE which in english and was originally a version of HELEN
