About Allisa

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.

Pronounced uh-LEE-suh.

As of October 2026, Allisa ranked #8976 in US births in 2015 SSA, peaked at #2462 in 1998.
