History & Origin

Alysah is a modern respelling that leans on both Alyssa, from the alyssum flower (Greek for 'without madness'), and Aliza, Hebrew for 'joyful.' The soft -ah ending places it among the invented spellings American parents favored around the two-thousands, keeping a familiar sound with a fresh look.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 2002, well behind Alyssa. A girl named Alysah then is a young adult today.

Did you know? Alysah sits between two names: the flowery Alyssa, from the alyssum bloom, and the Hebrew Aliza, 'joyful,' letting it carry a botanical and a bright meaning at once.
