I found these in a recent article written by Aleta Capelle (who has a pretty cool name herself). The names come from babies born in Olmsted County, Minnesota from July 1, 2006 through July 1, 2007.

The name Aleta was first made a unique baby name in the 1950s, as Hal Foster used the name in his Illustrated comic “Prince Valiant”. Many people in Minnesota seem to know of this connection, because the comic strip ran there for a very long time.
Aleta was known as the wife of Prince Valiant and in the later years she became Queen Aleta.
She was known as the “Queen of the Misty Isles”.
If you watch the movie ,Prince Valiant, you can Hear Prince Valient ( Robert Wagner ) call his princess ( Janet Leigh ) , Aleta.
In Portugese, aleta means ’star’
Thanks for the background, Aleta!
