Alishia

Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Alishia: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2009.

Alishia is a modern, phonetic spelling of Alicia, which itself evolved from the medieval Latin name **Alicia**, a variant of Alice. Alice ultimately derives from the Old French **Aliz**, a short form of the Germanic name **Adalheidis**, meaning "noble kind" or "of noble birth." Famous bearers include Alishia Pipkin, an American singer and actress known for her role in the Broadway musical *Dreamgirls*, and Alishia Bai, a contemporary Indian cricketer. There are no major places directly named Alishia, but places like Alice Springs, Australia, share the same noble root. As a variant, it is less common than Alicia or Alisha but follows the trend of creative spellings seen in names like Alishia or Alysia, offering a distinctive twist on a classic name.
