Alisan

Alisan is a feminine name with Turkish origins, where it can be spelled Alişan and is actually more commonly used for boys. The name may derive from elements meaning "flame" and "reputation" or "glory." In Western usage, it's often viewed as a variant of Alison or Allison, which ultimately comes from the Germanic name Adelaide, meaning "noble type." The name gained some recognition in the United States through actress Alisan Porter, who starred in the film "Curly Sue" and later won the singing competition "The Voice." Despite this exposure, Alisan remains relatively uncommon, offering parents a distinctive alternative to more popular Ali-beginning names while maintaining familiar sounds.

Pronounced uh-LEE-sahn.
