They are variants from Aiglina, feminine form of Aigle, from the Germanic Aigel/Eigel (from eigan, "to have").

Allegra Means "cheerful, lively" in Italian. It is not a traditional Italian name. It was borne by a short-lived illegitimate daughter of Lord Byron.
Also Allegria in Spanish which means Happiness.
