"Alley" is of French origin, meaning "a way to go", and has been adapted in English. It is also used in parts of Europe such as Croatia and Serbia as a name for a boulevard, an avenue or a parkway (such as Bologna Alley in Zagreb). The Swedish word "allé" and the German word "Allee" refers to any type of road lined with trees (such as Karl-Marx-Allee in Berlin). Czech and some other Slavic languages use the term "ulička" instead, a diminutive form of "ulice", the word for street.
Other meanings
In typography, "alley" is also used to refer to the gap between two columns of text.
