What is the meaning of the name alis ?

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

alis is French in Origin.

Alis is a feminine given name found in Welsh and medieval French/Anglo-Norman sources as a form of Alice. It ultimately derives from Old High German Adalheidis, from adal ‘noble’ + heid ‘kind, sort’, yielding the meaning ‘of noble kind’. Through Norman influence the name entered England after 1066, where spellings like Alis and Aalis appear in parish rolls and literature. In modern Welsh, Alis remains a standard rendering of Alice and sees steady, modest use.

Close relatives and variants include Alice, Alys (Welsh), Alise, Alyse, Alix (medieval French), Alicia (Latinised), and Alison/Allison, originally a medieval diminutive from Alis. Diminutives and short forms include Ali, Allie, and Lissy. The name travels well across languages, balancing a crisp, minimal spelling with deep historical roots.
