History & Origin
Shalise is a coined American girls' name that appears in United States records in the late 1960s and after. It joins the productive Sha- prefix of its era to a -lise ending shared with Denise and Charlise, a made name valued for its polished sound rather than an inherited story.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its late-1980s high and rare throughout. A woman named Shalise from then is now in her thirties.
