Allisa Origin and Meaning

The name Allisa is a girl's name.

Allisa is a feminine name representing a modern spelling variation of Alisa, itself derived from the classic names Alice or Elisabeth. The name has Germanic origins where 'Alice' means 'noble' or 'of noble kind.' The double 'l' spelling gives the name a distinctive appearance while maintaining its melodic pronunciation (uh-LEE-suh). Allisa strikes a balance between familiarity and uniqueness—recognizable enough to be easily pronounced yet uncommon enough to stand out. The name peaked in popularity during the 1980s but remains a moderately rare choice today. Allisa carries a gentle, feminine quality with its soft sounds and rhythm, projecting an image of grace and elegance while offering the friendly nicknames Ali, Ally, or Lissa.
