Alice

Alice is a classic English name of Germanic origin, derived from the Old High German Adalheidis — a compound of adal (noble) and heid (kind, sort, type), meaning 'noble kind' or 'of noble birth.' The name became widespread in medieval England and achieved lasting cultural immortality through Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, giving the name permanent associations with curiosity, imagination, and a willingness to follow the unexpected.

Alice is a name with centuries of charm behind it and zero signs of fading. It belongs to the curious, the imaginative, and the quietly determined — the cat who squeezes herself into impossible spaces, the dog who always finds a way through, the pet who approaches every new situation with wide-eyed interest rather than hesitation. The Wonderland connection adds a touch of whimsy that makes Alice feel both literary and playful. It's a name for a companion who never stops discovering things.
