Alissah
Alissah Origin and Meaning
Alissah is a feminine name that represents a creative spelling variation of Alisa or Alyssa. These names ultimately derive from the Germanic name Adelaide, meaning 'noble kind,' or potentially from the Greek 'alyssum,' a type of flower. The distinctive spelling with the terminal 'h' gives the name a unique visual quality while maintaining the melodic three-syllable pronunciation. This modern spelling variation emerged primarily in English-speaking countries in the late 20th century, reflecting the trend toward personalized spelling of traditional names. While less common than Alyssa or Alisa, Alissah appeals to parents seeking familiar sounds with distinctive written form. The name carries connotations of nobility and grace from its etymological roots.
