Alise

Alise is primarily a Latvian feminine given name, functioning as the standard Latvian form of Alice, which itself derives from the Old French name Aalis, a short form of Adelais, ultimately rooted in the Germanic elements adal, meaning noble, and heid, meaning kind or type. The name gained widespread European popularity during the Middle Ages and was later reinforced globally by Lewis Carroll's fictional character Alice. Closely related forms include Alice, Alicia, Alix, and Alicia, as well as the Latvian variant Alīce.
