Meaning & origin
Alissia is a relatively rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1967. It reached its highest popularity in 1998, but has since become less common, ranking 8,860 in 2025 with approximately 1 in 146,115 newborn girls receiving the name. The name has remained stable in recent years. As a modern variant of Alicia, Alissia reflects the longstanding trend of creating distinctive spellings of classic names. Its usage in the U.S. has been modest and scattered, with no single state showing particular concentration.
Alissia is a modern English variant of Alicia, which itself derives from the Old German name Adalheidis, composed of adal 'noble' and heit 'kind, type'. The name Alicia became popular in the 19th century and has spawned numerous spelling variants including Alissia, which likely emerged as a feminine elaboration with the -ia suffix.
