Allissa

Allissa is an English variant spelling of Alicia, itself a Latinized form of the Germanic name Alice, derived from the Old French Alis, a contracted form of Adaliz, meaning noble kind or of noble sort. The name belongs to a large family of related forms that spread across Europe during the medieval period, popularized in part by literary and royal figures bearing the Alice and Alicia forms. Alissa, Alyssa, and Alicia are among the many cognates and variant spellings found across different languages and traditions.
