Allie

Allie is an English diminutive form, most commonly derived from Alice or Alexandra, though it can also serve as a short form of any name beginning with Al-. Alice itself traces back through Old French to the Old High German name Adalheidis, composed of the elements adal, meaning noble, and heid, meaning kind or type. Allie has long been used as an affectionate pet form in English-speaking countries and is now frequently given as an independent name. Related forms include Ally, Alley, and the fuller names Alice and Alexandra.
