What Does the Name Alisson Mean?
Alisson is a variant spelling of Alison (also spelled Allison), a name that means "of noble kind." It comes from Norman French, where Alison was a pet form of Alis (Alice), formed with the diminutive ending -on. Alice descends from the Germanic name Adalheidis, built from adal, "noble," and heit, "kind, sort, type." The literal sense of the Germanic compound is therefore "noble sort" or "of noble kind," and this is the customary meaning passed down through Alice and Alison rather than a description of any particular person.
Alisson Name History & Origins
Alison was a common woman's name in medieval England, taken from Norman French after the Norman Conquest. It served as a diminutive of Alis, the Old French form of Alice, and the Middle English spelling Alisoun appears in the 1300s. Geoffrey Chaucer used that form for two of his characters in The Canterbury Tales - the Wife of Bath and the young wife in "The Miller's Tale" - a famous literary use, though not the earliest record of the name. Alison later went out of fashion and was revived in the 1800s, when the surname-style spelling Allison also became common as a given name.
Alisson is one of several variant spellings, marked by the single l and doubled s. In English it is usually feminine, like Alison and Allison. In Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking countries, Alisson is also widely used as a masculine given name, a separate usage from the English feminine tradition.
