Alisha

Alisha is an English feminine name that arose as a variant spelling of Alicia, itself the Latinized form of Alice. Alice derives from the Old French name Aalis, a short form of Adelais, which traces back to the Germanic elements adal, meaning noble, and heid, meaning kind or type. The name gained wide popularity in the English-speaking world during the twentieth century alongside other spellings such as Alicia, Alissa, and Alysha. Alecia and Alecia are further related forms found across various cultures.
