The Story of Alisson
Alisson is a spelling variant of Allison, a French diminutive of Alice. Alice derives from the Old French 'Aalis,' itself from the Germanic 'Adalheidis,' composed of 'adal' (noble) and 'heid' (kind, sort, type) — meaning 'noble kind' or 'of noble nature.' The name arrived in England with the Normans after 1066. Alisson uses the double-s spelling to give the classic name a slightly distinctive written form.
Allison and its variants peaked in the US in the 1990s–2000s, ranking as high as #17. The Alisson spelling is less common than Allison or Alison but has maintained a dedicated following among parents who want a subtle differentiation from the standard spelling.
Alison/Allison has long been a pillar of Anglo-American naming. It appears in medieval French poetry, was the name of Geoffrey Chaucer's witty Wife of Bath, and has been a steady favorite across English-speaking countries for centuries.
