Alisha

Alisha is a girl's and boy's baby name of Germanic origin, a variant of Alicia and Alice, from the Old High German Adalheidis, meaning 'noble nature' or 'of noble kind,' composed of adal (noble) and heid (kind, nature).

Alisha hit its peak popularity in the 1980s and early 1990s, partly through pop singer Alisha's R&B hits. It carries a friendly, accessible energy — familiar enough to feel warm, distinctive enough from the common Alice to stand on its own. One of the most used "Alice variations" in African-American naming traditions.
