What is the meaning of the name Alissun ?

Alissun is English, French in Origin.

Alissun is a contemporary respelling of Alison/Allison, which descends from medieval French Alis/Aalis, a pet form of Alice. Alice itself comes from Old High German Adalheidis (adal “noble” + heit “kind, sort”), yielding the meaning “of noble kind” or simply “noble.” In Old French and Middle English the suffix -on (later sometimes conflated with -son) formed diminutives (not initially patronymic), so Alison meant “little Alice”; later in Britain it also served as a matronymic surname, “son of Alice.”

The given name flourished in England, Scotland, and France from the 13th century and has been used for both sexes, though it is now predominantly feminine in the English-speaking world, with revival in the late 20th century. Alissun updates the classic with a bright -sun ending that emphasizes individuality. Established variants include Alison, Allison, Alyson, Alisoun (Chaucer), and Alisun; related forms are Alice, Alicia, and Adelaide. Common nicknames are Ali and Allie.
