Allie

Allie is an English diminutive and short form of names beginning with Al-, most commonly Alice, Alexandra, or Alison. Alice derives ultimately from the Old French Aalis, itself a contracted form of the Germanic name Adalheidis, composed of elements meaning noble and kind or type. The name gained widespread independent use in the English-speaking world during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, partly through the popularity of its longer forms. Related names include Ally, Allie as a masculine nickname for Alistair, and the full forms Alice and Alison.
