Meaning & origin
Alisi first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1998, a relatively recent addition to the American naming landscape. Its trajectory has been falling since 2020, and it reached its peak rank (13,208) in 2006, when about 1 in 267,878 girls received the name. Alisi is most likely a Tongan adaptation of Alice, reflecting Pacific Islander cultural influence in the United States. The name has not been associated with any particular U.S. state as a top occurrence, suggesting it remains relatively rare and dispersed. Its etymology is not fully established, but its phonetic structure aligns with modern coined names as well as cross-cultural adaptations.
Alisi is chiefly a Tongan and Polynesian name, often considered a local form of Alice. Alternatively, it may be a modern invented name combining the popular 'A-' prefix with a soft sound. It has been used in the United States since the late 1990s, likely influenced by Pacific Islander communities.
