What is a Bitcoin LN Node Alias?
I can see that some nodes have an Alias? What is the point of that?

Bitcoin Lightning Node operators can set a Node Alias on most setups. This alias is just a creative name that identifies an LN node. It helps identify and search for commercial services or popular nodes. Node operators can also change the alias over time if they like.
You can see the node alias on user profiles here on LN+ as well.
If you run an Umbrel node, there is no easy way to set an alias from the user interface, but there are ways to do it if you're comfortable digging into the configuration files.

In recent Umbrel nodes you can set it via "advanced settings".
