alyshia is English in Origin.

Alyshia is a modern English respelling of Alisha/Alysha, itself linked to Alicia, the Latinate form of Alice. Alice traces to Old French Aalis and ultimately to the Germanic Adalheidis (Adelheid), from adal “noble” and heid “kind, sort,” yielding the meaning “of noble kind.” The -sh- in Alisha-type forms reflects a phonetic development in English that distinguishes them from ah-LEE-see-uh Alicia. Alyshia is sometimes associated with the Arabic Aisha (“alive, living”), though in English usage it most often derives from the Alice line.

Use of Alyshia rose in the late twentieth century amid trends for creative spellings featuring y and sh, and it remains rare but familiar in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
