Alishia Origin and Meaning

The name Alishia is a girl's name.

Alishia is a feminine name that serves as a variant spelling of Alicia, which itself derives from the German name Adelaide, meaning 'noble type' or 'noble kind'. This particular spelling gained popularity in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s, reflecting the trend of creative name spellings during that era. Alishia offers a slightly more distinctive look while maintaining the familiar pronunciation of uh-LEE-shuh or uh-LEE-see-uh. The name has a gentle, feminine quality with its soft sounds and flowing syllables. While less common than Alicia, Alysha, or Alisha, this spelling variation gives the traditional name a unique twist while preserving its elegant essence and noble heritage.
