History & Origin
Allisha doubles the l in Alisha, a form of Alicia and ultimately of Alice, from the Germanic Adalheidis, 'noble kind.' The meaning 'noble' runs down the whole family; the extra letter is a late-century spelling flourish.
Allisha followed the strong popularity of Alisha and Alicia, cresting in the late nineteen-eighties. Its bearers are grown women now, and the spelling reads as an of-its-moment variant of a very old name.
