Aliesha

Girl name · 25 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Aliesha: 25 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1995.

Aliesha is a modern, phonetic spelling of Alesha, itself a variant of Alicia, the Latinised form of Alice. Alice ultimately derives from the Old French Adelais, which comes from the Germanic name Adalheidis, meaning "noble" or "of noble kind". While not as historically prominent as its source names, Aliesha shares its roots with the Victorian-era Queen's daughter, Princess Alice, and the celebrated children's author Lewis Carroll, whose *Alice's Adventures in Wonderland* immortalised the name. The spelling Aliesha became particularly popular in Scotland during the late 20th century, reflecting a broader trend for creative, phonetically intuitive variations that give a classic name a fresh, individual feel.
