Alesha

Alesha is a modern English feminine name that arose primarily as a respelling of Alicia or Alyssa, both ultimately rooted in the Old High German name Adalheidis, meaning noble type or noble kind. Its phonetic spelling reflects an informal, contemporary approach to naming that became popular in English-speaking countries during the late twentieth century. The name gained wider recognition through British singer and television personality Alesha Dixon. Related forms include Alicia, Alisha, Alysha, and Alyssa.
