Aleisha

Girl name · 136 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Aleisha: 136 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 13 births in 2010.

Aleisha is a modern, phonetic spelling of Alicia, which itself is a Latinate variant of Alice, ultimately derived from the Old German name Adalheidis, meaning "noble" or "of noble kind." This elegant form adds a distinctive, soft twist to a classic name. Famous bearers include Aleisha Rose Smith, a New Zealand singer, and Aleisha Allen, an American actress known for her roles in films like *Are We There Yet?*. The name’s connection to the historic Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, a key figure in Victorian charity work, lends it a touch of royal grace. While less common than Alicia or Alesha in Scotland, this spelling has gained quiet popularity since the 1990s.
