What is the meaning of the name Alice ?

The baby name Alice is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈælɪs/ (AL-iss).

Alice is in Origin.

Alice is the English form of Old French Aalis/Alis, a shortened variant of Adalheidis, the Germanic name behind Adelaide. It combines adal “noble” and heid “kind, type,” yielding the sense “noble” or “of noble sort.” Brought to England by the Normans, it established itself quickly in medieval records.

It ranked among the most common female names in 12th–14th‑century England, waned after the 1600s, then enjoyed a major 19th‑century revival, helped by Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Notable bearers include Saint Alice (Alicia) of Schaerbeek and various medieval noblewomen; the French royal Alix also reflects the name. Variants and relatives include Alicia, Alison/Allison, Alix, Alys, Alecia, Alise, Alisa, Alyse; international forms include Alícia (Portuguese/Catalan), Alica (Slovak), Aliz (Hungarian), and Alise (Latvian). Common diminutives are Allie and Ali. The core meaning remains “noble.”
