Meaning & origin
Alizon is an uncommon spelling variant of Alison, a name that has been used in England since the Middle Ages. While Alison has enjoyed steady popularity, Alizon remains exceptionally rare: in 2025 it ranked 10,107, given to roughly 1 in 178,585 newborn girls. Its peak usage was in 2011, and since 2010 its trajectory has been falling. This particular spelling carries a slightly archaic flavor, perhaps due to its association with the 16th-century Scottish form. Parents drawn to the sound of Alison but seeking a more distinctive spelling may appreciate Alizon, though it remains far less common than the standard forms.
Alizon is a medieval English variant of Alison, itself a Norman French diminutive of Alice, which derives from the Old Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning 'noble type'. The name Alison was common in medieval England and Scotland. Alizon appears in historical records as a spelling variant, particularly in the 16th and 17th centuries.
