Allissa is in Origin.
Allissa is a contemporary English variant of Alissa/Alyssa, shaped by modern double-letter styling. The name draws on two etymological streams: as a derivative of Alice/Alicia, it ultimately goes back to Germanic Adalheidis, "noble kind" or "of noble type"; as a short form related to Elisa/Elissa (from Elisabeth/Elisheva), it carries the Hebrew sense "God is my oath." Classical Elissa, another form of the name, is the legendary Phoenician queen better known as Dido, adding a literary layer.
Use of Allissa rose in the late 20th century alongside creative respellings in English-speaking countries, achieving modest but steady visibility while remaining rarer than Alyssa or Alissa. Common variants include Alyssa, Alissa, Allisa, Alisa, Elisa, Elissa, Alice, and Alicia; nicknames range from Allie and Ali to Liss/Lissa. Most bearers pronounce it uh-LISS-uh, though uh-LEE-suh occurs regionally.
