Alisen is English in Origin.
Alisen is a modern respelling of Alison/Allison, a medieval Norman French diminutive formed from Alis/Aliz (Alice) + -on. Alice traces to Old French Alis from the Germanic Adalheidis (Adelaide), built from adal "noble" and heid/heit "kind, sort." The meaning carried by Alisen is thus "noble," often expanded as "of noble kind" or "noble nature."
Carried into England after the Norman Conquest, the name appears in Middle English as Alisoun, famously in Chaucer. In medieval records it was sometimes unisex, especially in Scotland, but in modern English it is chiefly feminine. Alisen itself surfaces in late 20th century usage as a rare, streamlined variant. Related forms and spellings include Alison, Allison, Allyson, Alyson, Alisson, Alizon, and the literary Alisoun; cognates include Alice, Alicia, and Adelaide. Common nicknames are Ali and Allie; less usual short forms include Lissy and Lis.
