Alishia

Alishia is an English variant spelling of Alicia, itself the Latinized form of Alice, which derives from the Old French name Aalis, a contracted form of the Germanic name Adalheidis. Adalheidis is composed of the elements adal, meaning noble, and heid, meaning kind or sort, giving the name an overall sense of noble nature. The name has been widely used across European languages, appearing in forms such as Adelaide, Alicia, Alecia, and Alisha. Alishia represents a modern phonetic respelling that gained occasional use in English-speaking countries during the twentieth century.
