| Name Meaning: |
Evolved through a series of variants of the Germanic Adalheidis, a compound name composed of the elements adal (noble), and heid (kind, sort): hence, "nobility." Adalheidis was contracted to Adalheid, which the French changed to Adelaide, then contracted to Adaliz, and contracted yet again to Aaliz and Aliz. The English then changed the spelling to Aeleis, Alys, and eventually to Alice. The name was borne by the central character in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking Glass (1872) |
