History & Origin
Alysson is one of the many spellings of Allison, which began in medieval France as a diminutive of Alice — Germanic Adalheidis, 'nobleness' — and persisted in Scotland long after fading elsewhere; the surname Allison, 'Alice's (or Allen's) son', later reinforced it. The name's twentieth-century American boom spawned Alison, Allyson, Alisson, and this double-s y-form.
Brazilian and Hispanic communities have also used Alysson (occasionally for boys, after Brazilian footballers named Alisson). For girls in the U.S. it remains a rare variant of a midcentury-to-90s favorite.
