Alisa
The name Alisa is a variant of the name Alice, which has its origins in the Old German name Adalheidis. This name is comprised of two elements: 'adal' meaning 'noble' and 'heid' meaning 'kind'.
Alice became a popular name in France and England during the Middle Ages, and it was later introduced to other parts of Europe. Over time, various spellings and variations of the name emerged, including Alisa.
In some Slavic cultures, Alisa is considered a separate name with its own meaning, derived from the Greek word 'alsos' meaning 'grove' or 'sacred forest'. However, in most cases, it is still regarded as a variant of Alice.
The name Alisa is commonly associated with qualities such as nobility, kindness, and grace, reflecting its etymological roots.
