alisson is French in Origin.

Alisson is a modern spelling of Alison/Allison, a medieval French diminutive of Alice (Aalis) formed with the suffix -on. Alice traces back to Old High German Adalheidis, meaning “noble kind” or “of noble rank,” which gives Alisson its prevailing sense of nobility. As a surname in Scotland and northern England, Allison can also represent “son of Alan,” though the given name primarily descends through the Alice line.

Recorded in Middle English as Alysoun (famously in Chaucer), the name was common in medieval Britain, then enjoyed a strong 20th-century revival across English-speaking countries. The Alisson spelling has gained particular traction in Latin America and Brazil, where it is often used for boys as well as girls, boosted by high-profile athletes such as goalkeeper Alisson Becker. Variants include Alison, Allison, Alyson, Allyson, and Alysoun; common short forms are Ali and Allie.
