What's included in the Alani worksheet

Letters to trace: 5; Capital A + 4 lowercase
SSA popularity, 2025: #161; Girls' names, United States
Tracing difficulty: steady; Diagonal strokes in A

Alani sits in the middle of the range — from the capital “A” on, most of its 5 letters are shapes a beginner already knows, and the rest are the ones worth slowing down for. The diagonal strokes in “A” are the trickiest part — slanted lines are usually the last strokes young writers control, so expect extra passes there. Remind your child to finish “i” with the dot — dots and crosses are added last, after the letter body. The tall letter “l” reaches the top guide line — a common slip is stopping it at the height of the small letters instead. Because Alani was the #161 girls' name of 2025, a ready-made Alani tracing sheet like this one sees plenty of classroom use.

Stroke by stroke, the letters of Alani:

A — Two slanted lines that lean into each other from a point at the top, then a bar across the middle to join them. The two forms of A share nothing: the capital is all slanted lines, while lowercase a is a closed circle with a short stick — children usually find the small form easier.
l — One tall straight line from the top line down to the baseline.
a — Curve round like a c, close the circle, then a short line down its right side.
n — A short line down, then back up and over a single hump to the baseline.
i — A short line from the midline down to the baseline, then a dot floated above it — body first, dot last.

The tall strokes in Alani come from “A” and “l” — two of its 5 letters reach the top guide line. The rest are small letters with nothing hanging below the baseline — only the floating dot on “i” sits above the letter body.

Alani runs five letters, a length it shares with 502 of the 1,918 names on this site. Its popularity is middle-of-the-list for 2025 girls' names — still ahead of 793 of the 953 here.

Alani was the #161 girls' name in the U.S. for 2025, per the Social Security Administration's public-domain baby-names data. One page is all it takes: three-line handwriting guides with a descender line below them, sized for US Letter and printing cleanly on A4.

Tips for tracing Alani

The slants in “A” deserve their own warm-up row — once those land cleanly, the rest of Alani is familiar ground.
Try “Ala”, breathe, then “ni” — halving Alani turns one long word into two easy wins.
Save the dot on “i” for last: letter body first, then lift the pencil and dot it.
Give Alani its height song: “tall, tall, small, small, small”. Chanting the sizes while tracing keeps tall letters tall and small letters small.
Close with a single unguided Alani on scrap paper. Tracing teaches the movement; writing it from memory makes it stick.

Customization options

Font style

The dotted style breaks each letter of Alani into a traceable outline; the solid light-gray style shows the whole letterform to write over. Most families start dotted and move to gray as pencil control improves — the dark example row stays either way.

Letter size

Three guide-line heights. Bigger lines mean fewer repetitions per page but easier control, and Alani fits comfortably at all three — most families begin large and shrink from there.

Number of practice lines

Anywhere from 1 to 12 lines fits below the example row. A first session usually wants a few big lines; a daily practice sheet wants many smaller ones.
