Meaning & origin
Alsie is a very rare feminine name that saw its peak in 1902, according to U.S. Social Security data. It first appeared in the records in 1900 and has remained uncommon ever since, with a trajectory described as 'stable' over the decades. The name follows the early 20th-century pattern of creating pet forms of longer names, likely as a variant of Elsie or Alice. Despite its historical obscurity, Alsie represents a piece of naming heritage from the first decade of the 1900s, appealing to those seeking a distinctive choice with vintage charm.
Alsie is likely a diminutive or variant of Elsie or Alice, both of which derive from the Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning 'noble' or 'of noble kind.' It emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States, following the fashion for nicknames as given names. Alsie appears to have been most common in the first decade of the 1900s, particularly around 1902, but its use has declined significantly since.
