Meaning & origin
Alease is a rare feminine name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1888. It reached its highest usage in 1909, when it was most frequently recorded. Although it never appeared in the top 1000 rankings, it shows a stable trajectory and occasional use, with a small number of babies still receiving the name in recent years. The name's resemblance to Alice and Alicia suggests it may be a creative variant of those more established names, reflecting the turn-of-the-century fashion for phonetic spelling variations. Today, Alease remains a distinctive and uncommon choice, with no top states showing significant concentrations of the name.
