Historical Usage
Orleana, the daughter of King Louis XII of France, was given the title 'Orleanna of Valois' or 'Orleah of Valois' after her birth in 1468. The name 'Orleah' comes from the Old French word 'Orleaan', which means 'of Orleans'. The region of Orleans was significant during the Hundred Years War between France and England, and the name served to remind the people of their connection to this important part of their history.
Late 15th Century
In the novel 'The Scarlet Letter' by Nathaniel Hawthorne, published in 1850, the protagonist Hester Prynne names her daughter 'Pearl', but in the community's records she is registered as 'Orleana'. This name is likely a reference to the French noblewoman 'Orleana of Valois', as Hester and her husband Chillingworth had spent some time in France before settling in the New World. The name 'Orleana' may have been chosen to signify Hester's connection to the powerful and noble French lineage.
