Allisen

Norman French, diminutive of Alice

"noble"

Allisen Origin and Meaning

The name Allisen is a girl's name.

Allisen is a feminine name that represents a modern variant spelling of Alison or Allison. These names ultimately derive from the medieval French diminutive of Alice (Alison), which itself comes from the Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning 'noble type.' This particular spelling variation with '-en' instead of '-on' gives the traditional name a slightly more contemporary feel while maintaining its recognizable sound. Allisen remains relatively uncommon compared to the standard Allison spelling, which enjoyed significant popularity in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. Parents might choose this spelling variation to give their daughter a familiar-sounding name with a more distinctive presentation, setting her slightly apart while still connecting to a well-established naming tradition.
