ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

As a variant of Allison, it traces back to Alice, ultimately from the Germanic name Adelheid, generally interpreted as 'noble natured' (from adal 'noble' + heid 'kind, sort'). This spelling covers two functionally distinct identities: a Brazilian Portuguese masculine name (as borne by footballer Alisson Becker) and an English/French modern feminine variant of Allison. This project's SSA rank reflects aggregate US birth-certificate usage of the spelling without separating the two genders.

  1. Documented roots: A modern respelling with two parallel entries: a Portuguese (Brazilian) masculine form, and an English (Modern) / French (Modern) feminine form, both ultimately variants of Allison/Alison.

Cultural Footprint
