Meaning & origin
Allyce is a modern respelling of Alice that has never entered the mainstream. First recorded in 1913, the name peaked in 1988 with 44 births, its highest count ever. Since then, usage has declined and remained stable at very low levels, with fewer than 5 births per year in the most recent decades. As of 2025, it remains outside the top 1,000. Allyce is a name that blends familiarity with individuality, appealing to parents seeking a distinctive twist on a classic. While it has no notable top states of concentration, its rarity ensures a unique identity for each bearer.
Allyce is a modern spelling variant of Alice, which ultimately derives from the Germanic name Adalheidis, composed of elements meaning 'noble' and 'kind'. The name Alice was popularized in England by the medieval French form Alis, and Allyce emerged as a less common respelling in the 20th century, first recorded in the United States in 1913. It peaked in usage in 1988 but has remained rare overall.
