Aleesha

Aleesha is an English variant spelling of Alicia, which itself derives from the Old French form of the Germanic name Adalheidis, composed of the elements adal, meaning noble, and heid, meaning kind or type. The name ultimately shares its roots with Adelaide and Alice, both of which became widely used in medieval Europe through noble and royal bearers. Aleesha represents one of several phonetic respellings that emerged in modern English-speaking communities to reflect varied pronunciations. Closely related forms include Alicia, Alisha, Alesha, and Alysha.
