Alyssan is English in Origin.

Alyssan is a modern English given name, likely a creative respelling that bridges Alyson/Allison and Alyssa. Its core lineage traces to medieval French Aalis/Alis (Alice), from the Germanic Adalheidis (“adal” ‘noble’ + “heid” ‘kind, sort’), yielding the meaning “noble” or “of noble type.” A secondary influence is Alyssa, associated with the sweet alyssum flower and the Greek elements a- “without” + lyssa “rage,” once linked to soothing properties.

Usage echoes its forebears: Alison was widespread in medieval England and Scotland, then revived in the 20th century, while Allison rose strongly in North America and Alyssa peaked in the late 1980s-1990s. Alyssan surfaces in records from the late 20th century onward and remains rare. Related forms include Alyson, Allison, Alison, Alisson, Alysson, Alisyn, Alysan, and Alisanne; common nicknames are Aly, Allie, and Lyss. Overall meaning: chiefly “noble,” with a gentle floral overtone.
