Alyson

Alyson is a feminine variant of the name Alison, which is derived from the French form of Alice.

The name Alice is of Germanic origin and is thought to be derived from the name Adalheidis, which is composed of the elements 'adal' meaning 'noble' and 'heid' meaning 'kind' or 'type'.

The name Alyson gained popularity in the 20th century as a more modern and unique spelling variation of the traditional Alison.

While the precise meaning of Alyson is not entirely clear, it is generally believed to have connotations of nobility and grace, much like the original name Alice.
