Allisha Origin and Meaning

The name Allisha is a girl's name.

Allisha is a feminine name that appears to be a creative variation of Alicia or Alisha, which ultimately derive from the Germanic name Adelaide, meaning 'noble kind.' The doubled 'l' adds a distinctive flair to this otherwise familiar name. Emerging primarily in the late 20th century, Allisha gained modest popularity as parents sought unique spellings of traditional names. The name carries a youthful, contemporary feel while maintaining connections to its more traditional roots. Allisha combines familiarity with individuality, making it recognizable yet distinctive. While never reaching the top tier of popularity, it has maintained steady usage particularly in English-speaking countries. The name's melodic quality and positive associations with nobility make it an appealing choice for many families.
