Alisun Origin and Meaning

The name Alisun is a girl's name.

Alisun is a medieval variant spelling of Alison, which itself originated as a Norman French diminutive of Alice (derived from the Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning 'noble type'). This archaic spelling gives the name a historical, literary quality that evokes images of medieval England. While standard Alison has enjoyed significant popularity throughout English-speaking countries, the Alisun variant remains exceptionally rare in modern usage. The name carries feminine charm with historical depth, appealing to parents with an interest in medieval literature or historical naming traditions. The spelling variation creates a unique identity while maintaining the familiar pronunciation of the more common Alison.
