Aliz is Hungarian in Origin.

Aliz is primarily the Hungarian form of Alice (Hungarian often written Alíz), ultimately from Old High German Adalheidis (“noble, of noble sort”). Through medieval French Aalis/Alice, the name spread across Europe, and the streamlined Hungarian spelling gained currency in the 19th–20th centuries. In some Francophone contexts, Aliz can also be read as a clipped variant of Alizée/Alizé, a word-name from French alizé “trade wind,” giving the name a breezy, modern nuance. Less commonly, it appears as a short form of Hebrew Aliza (“joyful”).

Usage centers on Hungary, where Alíz ranked among fashionable choices in the early 2000s, with occasional bearers in France, Belgium, and communities favoring minimal spellings. Related forms and variants include Alice, Alicia, Alisa, Alise, Alizé/Alizée, and Aliza; Hungarian diminutives include Ali and Lizi. Meanings attached to Aliz therefore range from “noble” (core etymology) to “trade wind” (French influence) and “joyful” (Hebrew link), depending on the chosen lineage.
