The Polish form of Alice, Alicja derives from the Old French Adelais, itself rooted in the Germanic Adalheidis, meaning 'noble kind' or 'of noble birth'. Notable bearers include Polish actress Alicja Bachleda-Curuś, singer Alicja Majewska, and contemporary artist Alicja Kwade. While no specific places are named directly after a bearer, the name shares its etymological root with towns and cities called Alice or Adelheid across Europe. Pronounced ah-LEET-syah in Polish, this variant offers a distinctive, melodic alternative to the more common Alice, and has appeared in Scotland's multicultural naming landscape since the 1970s, often chosen by families with Polish
