What is the meaning of the name alysia ?

alysia is in Origin.

Alysia is a modern feminine given name most often treated as a variant of Alicia/Alice, itself from Old French Aalis and ultimately the Germanic Adalheidis (Adelaide), meaning “noble” or “of noble kind.” As a spelling, Alysia gained visibility in the English-speaking world during the late 20th century, though related medieval forms such as Alys, Alisia, and Alesia appear much earlier. In the United States, it saw peak use in the late 1980s–1990s and remains familiar yet relatively uncommon.

Multiple etymological paths are cited. Some interpret Alysia as a respelling of Alyssa, linked to the alyssum flower and Greek alysson “curing madness” (a- “not” + lyssa “mania”). Others note convergence with Elysia, from Greek Elysion, yielding the sense “blissful” (Elysian Fields). Variants and cognates include Alicia, Alisia, Alesia, Alyssia, Alisha, and Elysia; nicknames include Aly, Lissy/Lisi, and Sia. The most accepted meaning is “noble,” with modern alternatives “calm/rational” or “blissful.”
