Alisia is a modern spelling variant of Alicia, itself the Latinized form of Alice. Alice comes from Old French Alis/Aalis, a short form of Adelais, from the Germanic Adalheidis (Adelaide), combining adal “noble” and heid “kind, type,” yielding the sense “of noble sort.” Through French and Latin, the name spread across medieval Europe, and the Alisia form reflects phonetic spellings seen in English- and Spanish-speaking communities as well as some Slavic usage.

Revival in the nineteenth century via literature, notably Carroll; twentieth-century global fashion of Alicia produced Alisia as an alternative.
